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
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 Explain Request ×
