We All Fall Down is a poignant and deeply reflective country song that explores themes of resilience, tragedy, and the unpredictable nature of life. Through vivid storytelling and powerful imagery, the lyrics illustrate various catastrophic events—whether natural disasters, shipwrecks, or war—showing how people either rise from devastation or succumb to it.
The song’s chorus emphasizes the cycle of falling and rising again, reinforcing the human capacity for perseverance. However, in the final verse, a stark contrast emerges: while some find the strength to recover, others do not. The phrase “It’s written in the stars” suggests an acceptance of fate, acknowledging that survival is not always in one’s control.
By weaving together historical and personal struggles, “We All Fall Down” delivers an emotional and thought-provoking message about endurance, loss, and the reality that not everyone gets a second chance.

We All Fall Down lyrics
When the damn got broke
And the waters flowed
Was nothing we could do
Built it up again
But ten times stronger
And built their lives a-new
When you fall down
You get up right again
When you fall down
You get up right again
When the ship got sunk
And the people froze
Who believed it was true?
When the shock waves came
They stayed much longer
Cut through me and you
When you fall down
You get up right again
When you fall down
You get up right again
When the war came by
And the soldiers fell
The TV filmed the view
All the boys were slain
Filmed in slow motion
Each frame through and through
We all fall down
We all fall down
No matter who you are
Some don’t get up
Some don’t get up
It’s written in the stars
When some fall down
Some don’t get up again
When some fall down
Some don’t get up again
