Deitrick Haddon's song "Gravity" uses the metaphor of being stuck on the moon to describe the struggle of trying to live a holy life while weighed down by earthly troubles. The lyrics contrast the beauty and peace found in God's presence with the evil, hatred, and wars on earth. Haddon expresses a desire to escape negative influences and share the peace he has found, but feels pulled back by the gravity of worldly challenges. The song encourages believers to keep striving for heaven despite the difficulties, relying on faith to overcome the forces that bring them down.

Tryna' make it to heaven, stuck on the moon
How beautiful earth is from this point of view
So much evil back on the ground
Gravity keeps on bringing me down (down down down)
Yeah... Whoohhh ahhhh (Bringing me down)
Yeah... ahhh ... Yeah
[Verse 1:]
Launcher sent to let my light shine
Like the sun that aluminates the sky so bright
Like the stars that chase away the dawn this night
Church why can't we be more like the moon that glow, let's go
Lord, I want to be where you are
But in my flesh Lord, I can only go so far
It's like a test, every time I try to raise the bar
I want to worship, really, but it's too much gravity
[Chorus: ]
Tryna' make it to heaven, stuck on the moon
How beautiful earth is from this point of view
So much evil back on the ground
Gravity keeps on bringing me down
So much hatred, famine and wars
I don't want to go back anymore
Wanna share with the world the peace that I found
But gravity keeps on bring me down
Gravity... Keeps bringing me down
Gravity... Keeps bringing me down
Gravity... Keeps bringing me down
Gravity... Keeps bringing me down
[Verse 2: ]
If I can just fly away
From the negative energy that's strong as my faith
Get on a space ship, take a trip thru space
Go with me sight seeing thru the milky way
How did you make Pluto, Jupiter and Mars
Only you can make Venus, Neptune and Stars
Gravity makes me feel like I can just surf
And gravity brings me way back down to Earth
[Chorus]
Yeah oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah ehhh
