if your travels ever take you to sea well then i d say to you to dip in your feet and if you battle the wind along the way well then i tell you to challenge the waves it s a world of peculiar people and places that look nothing like home but it keeps turning and turning even though gravity happens and we don t know it till after we ve hit the ground and the world s spinning faster with each day that passes and each dashing hour what am i to do when i ve broken my parachute well if gravity happens then i ll fasten wings to my shoes i have gathered that the moments that shaped me were the ones that have tested my faith all that matters is the courage they gave me i fell down my fears were erased in the wreckage of heartache and hindsight a new beginning starts to unfold if you let it it just might save your life because gravity happens and we don t know it till after we ve hit the ground and the world s spinning faster with each day that passes and each dashing hour  what am i to do when i ve broken my parachute well if gravity happens then i ll fasten wings to my shoes i m not gonna let the world get me down whoa i ve got so much more to live for i m starting right now oh oh oh oh oh cause gravity happens and we don t know it till after we ve hit the ground and the world s spinning faster with each day that passes and each dashing hour what am i to do when i ve broken my parachute well if gravity happens then i ll fasten wings to my shoes
