Cover art for Falls Apart lyrics by Thousand Foot Krutch

I think this story is progressive. This guy is trying to make it morally on his own steam and realizes he cant. And then it all becomes clear why this is the case: he stopped relying on God.

"I’m so behind, you’re so far above me And you’ll always be the wind under my wings, above me’’
This is how I've felt when I realize how pitiful my best efforts are. God just lifts us up when we throw ourselves on him.
