Story Behind the Song
While taking an evangelism class at ACU where I was the only non-bible-major, (and where half the class was comprised of graduate students) I began to feel like I didn't belong in there. I never felt like I was being looked down upon, I just felt somewhat intimidated by the "spiritual giants" in the same room. One night after coming to the realization that they were no different from me, in that "...all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" (Romans 3:23), I wrote this song. It speaks to both Christians that think they have "arrived" and the new Christian who might feel looked down upon by these "spritual giants" on their "high horses" for their weakness. The chorus reminds both kinds of people to "look up and see just where you stand" because all Christians have come from sin into grace.
Lyrics
Swallow deep
Lower, slower
The air you breathe
Is the same, youre so vain
Dizzy height
This horse you ride, makes you blind
Look to see
Far below, the world you used to know
Chorus:
Where are the giants in this land?
Everyman, Everyman
Look up and see just where you stand
Everyman, Everyman
Years of grime
Baked on, caked on
Guess you thought
You'd do it on your own, alone
Came to grips
Your humanity, fragility
Wasted time
Still rumbles in your mind
Chorus
Bridge:
Some people laugh and they shout
"Everyman has fallen!" (echo)
Someday they'll figure out that
Every man has fallen (echo)
Chorus
