Down On the Ground |
I thought what I was hearing |
Was the sound of mission bells |
Perhaps it was a mission |
Not from heaven but from hell |
I lay down my body |
On the fertile ground I fell |
All the things seemed clear to me |
I never felt so well |
But when the night was over |
And the morning sun burned through |
And I listened for the mission bells |
But a dissonance rang through |
You shook me up |
You shook me down |
But you won’t keep me |
Down on the ground |
Your love is strong |
But I’ve been down too long |
Why you wanna keep on |
Doing me wrong |
I thought what I was hearing |
Was the voice of my old friend |
I poured out my feelings |
And I felt healed again |
I held that door open |
And said why don’t you stay |
You’re tired and you’re hungry |
I thought I heard you say |
So you sat down at my table |
I closed my eyes as you prayed |
While you filled your every pocket |
With the living I had made |
You shook me up |
You shook me down |
But you won’t keep me |
Down on the ground |
Your love is strong |
But I’ve been down too long |
Why you wanna keep on |
Doing me wrong |
Be careful who you follow |
Be suspicious of the messenger |
I was moments from the gates of insanity |
I had followed a mirror of my vanity |
I stood naked stripped of my humanity |
And I cried to the heavens |
God get me out of here! |
Just this time |
Please get me out of here |
Be careful who you follow |
Be suspicious of the messenger |
Who will comfort and divide you |
Pretend to be beside you |
But he’ll always be a stranger |
When you find yourself in danger |
When you’re lost and in the dark |
Listen to your heart |
You shook me up |
You shook me down |
But you won’t keep me |
Down on the ground |
Your love is strong |
But I’ve been down too long |
Why you wanna keep on |
Doing me wrong |
