down here on the ground
it ain’t no place for living
no no no
down here on the ground
watching the sparrows fly high
i watch the birds
as they make their wings
flying solid free
how i wish it were me
but i’m down here on the ground
and i’m wanting something better
i’m down here on the ground
wanting something more
one morning soon
i will find
some wings on my mind
to take me high
so if you hear a sound
from down here on the ground
my friends
it’s only me
trying to fly
trying to fly
i would love to fly
because i’m tired of being
down here on the ground
i’m tired of being
down here on the ground yeah
one morning soon
i gotta find
some wings on my mind
wings to take me high
so if you hear a sound
if you hear a sound
from down here on the ground
i said my friends
it’s only me
i will be trying to fly
trying to fly
live a bird i would love to fly
because i’m tired of being
down here on the ground
yes i’m tired of being
down here on the ground yeah
