Down To Earth |
Did you think that your feet had been bound |
By what gravity brings to the ground? |
Did you feel you were tricked by the future you picked? |
Well, come on down |
All those rules don’t apply |
When you’re high in the sky |
So, come on down |
Come on down |
We’re coming down to the ground |
There’s no better place to go |
We’ve got snow up on the mountains |
We’ve got rivers down below |
We’re coming down to the ground |
We hear the birds sing in the trees |
And the land will be looked after |
We send the seeds out in the breeze |
Did you think you’d escaped from routine |
By changing the script and the scene? |
Despite all you made of it, you’re always afraid |
Of the change |
You’ve got a lot on your chest |
Well, you can come as my guest |
So, come on down |
Come on down |
We’re coming down to the ground |
There’s no better place to go |
We’ve got snow up on the mountains |
We’ve got rivers down below |
We’re coming down to the ground |
We hear the birds sing in the trees |
And the land will be looked after |
We send the seeds out in the breeze |
Like the fish in the ocean |
We felt at home in the sea |
We learned to live off the good land |
Learned to climb up a tree |
Then we got up on two legs |
But we wanted to fly |
Oh, when we messed up our homeland |
We set sail for the sky |
We’re coming down to the ground |
There’s no better place to go |
We’ve got snow up on the mountains |
We’ve got rivers down below |
We’re coming down to the ground |
We hear the birds sing in the trees |
And the land will be looked after |
We send the seeds out in the breeze |
We’re coming down |
Coming down to Earth |
Like babies at birth |
Coming down to Earth |
We’re gonna find new priorities |
These are extraordinary qualities |
We’re coming down to the ground |
There’s no better place to go |
We’ve got snow up on the mountains |
We’ve got rivers down below |
We’re coming down to the ground |
We hear the birds sing in the trees |
And the land will be looked after |
We send the seeds out in the breeze |
We’re coming down to the ground |
There’s no better place to go |
We’ve got snow up on the mountains |
We’ve got rivers down below |
We’re coming down to the ground |
We hear the birds sing in the trees |
And the land will be looked after |
We send the seeds out in the breeze |
We’re gonna find new priorities |
These are extraordinary qualities |
To find on Earth |
