Down Here on the Ground

Down here in 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



(Repeat *)
