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 these 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
|
To 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'll 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
|
We 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
|
And set sail for the sky
|
|
We're coming down to the ground
|
There's no better place to go
|
We've got snow upon the mountains
|
We got rivers down below
|
|
We're coming down to the ground
|
We'll 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
|
Comin' down to earth
|
Like babies at birth
|
Comin' down to earth
|
Redefine your priorities
|
These are extraordinary qualities
|
|
We're coming down to the ground
|
There's no better place to go
|
We've got snow upon the mountains
|
We've got rivers down below
|
|
We're coming down to the ground
|
We'll 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 upon the mountains
|
We've got rivers down below
|
|
We're coming down to the ground
|
We'll hear the birds sing in the trees
|
And the land will be looked after
|
We send the seeds out in the breeze
|
|
Redefine your priorities
|
These are extraordinary qualities
|
To find on earth
|
|
Comin' down, comin' down
|
Comin' down, comin' down
|
Comin' down, comin' down
|
Comin' down, comin' down
|
|
