Down to Earth lyrics

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 upon 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

(Come) send the seeds out in (the deep?)

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 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

(Come?) send the seeds out in (the deep?)

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

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

send the seeds out in the

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'll 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

(Come) send the seeds out in (the deep?)
