Back On Earth
Ozzy Osbourne · Other Songs - Ozzy Osbourne
And my ashes are scattered
No longer of passion and flesh
My flame is alive
Though my wings have been shattered
They laid my body to rest
My spirit is breathing
My senses are pure
Like reincarnation
My soul will endure, ohhhh
Back on earth
Back on earth
Back on earth
The spirit - it never lets go
Like fountains of sorrow the faces are crying
I'm witnessing all of their pain
Death is so final for only the living
The spirit will always remain
Bury me deep just to cover my sins
My soul is redeemed as the journey begins
Back on earth
(you feel me)
Back on earth
(reveal me)
Back on earth
The spirit it never lets go
Another dimension, a river of light
I'm twisting,
I'm turning,
My soul is in flight
Back on earth
(you feel me)
Back on earth
(reveal me)
Back on earth
(still breathing)
Back on earth
(reliving)
