Story Behind The Song

I came up with the idea for this song after learning that Mark Pence's studio had a tree crash though the roof during his production work on my, "Illegal Alien" tune late one night. I'll never forget going over to his studio to help cover his equipment and console with rolls of plastic. I recall thinking what a cool idea it would make for a song. "Sky is Falling" became what would become my 6th track on the album, thanks to that one moment of destruction that fateful night.

Song Description

This song is about sudden calamity and dealing with the soul searching that follows. First, being taken off guard, and then questioning why... Then finding the resolve and the fortitude to rise above the circumstances to triumph in the end.

Lyrics

"SKY IS FALLING"
Kevin Simnacher/©2011 SimRocker Publishing (BMI) All rights reserved.

TThe sky came crashing down on me
I'm lying on the floor
All my dreams and heartaches
They don't matter anymore.

Won't someone come and save me
from this miserable plight?
I don't know if I can make it
through the darkness of the night.

I didn't see it coming
I should have read the signs.
It's too late now to go back home
I'm gonna lose my mind.

Sky is falling. You better run for cover
Sky is falling. You gotta keep on crawling
Sky is falling. You better run for cover
Sky is falling. You gotta keep on crawling
You gotta RISE to meet another day.

Gotta cut through all this confusion
Sort though all this mess
Find out what really matters
In this life--this mortal quest.

It's a time for some reflection
from deep within the soul
I can hear it calling me
now--louder than before.

Was I simply just too busy
with things that waste my time?
This life's too short to squander
how could I be so out of line?

Sky is falling. You better run for cover
Sky is falling. You gotta keep on crawling
Sky is falling. You better run for cover
Sky is falling. You gotta keep on crawling
You gotta RISE to meet another day.

BRIDGE: Sky is falling
You know the sky is falling
The sky is falling
Sky is falling

(solo section)

Peel away the layers
of years of toil and pain
Taking back our freedom
to feel alive again.

It's a time for our renewal
a time to change the course
We choose the way that
lifts us to our everlasting source.

It's a rhyme to fill your purpose
in everything you do
you've still got time
it's not too late
to find the real you.

Sky is falling. You better run for cover
Sky is falling. You gotta keep on crawling
Sky is falling. You better run for cover
Sky is falling. You gotta keep on crawling
You gotta RISE to meet another day..
