[Verse 1]
Just like a fool on sinking sand
I didn't know what was going down
I let my pride and vanity
Turn me away from reality

[Pre-Chorus]
All of my strength and security
Were built upon the walls of society
But all I had were sandcastles next to the raging sea
Don't you see

[Chorus]
They came a-tumblin' down
(They came a-tumblin' down)
Just like the walls of Jericho
They came a-tumblin' down
(They came a-tumblin' down)
Just like the walls of Jericho
They came a-tumblin' down

[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 2]
Then in the ruins of my broken life
I saw the gleam of a distant light
I felt the warmth of a gentle touch
I felt the strength as it picked me up
[Pre-Chorus]
Love was in His eyes as He said to me
"Don't put your faith in physical things
Nothing of this world is forever, you've got to see
Don't you see?"

[Chorus]
They'll come a-tumblin' down
(They'll come a-tumblin' down)
Just like the walls of Jericho
They'll come a-tumblin' down
(They'll come a-tumblin' down)
Just like the walls of Jericho

[Bridge]
Nothing of this world is forever, you see?
Don't spend your life chasin' physical things
Everything you need, you can find it only Him
Only Him
Put your trust in Him

[Chorus]
They'll come a-tumblin' down
(They'll come a-tumblin' down)
Just like the walls of Jericho
They'll come a-tumblin' down
(They'll come a-tumblin' down)
Just like the walls of Jericho
[Outro]
(They'll come a-tumblin' down)
Just like the walls of Jericho
(They'll come a-tumblin' down)
They'll come a-tumblin' down
(They'll come a-tumblin' down)
(They'll come a-tumblin' down)
(They'll come a-tumblin' down)
(Down, down, down, down, down)
(Down, down, down, down, down)
