Down to Earth
Peter Gabriel
☼ Wall-e soundtrack, love it ♥♪
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 We'll send the seeds out in the breeze 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 We'll send the seeds out in the breeze 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 We'll send the seeds out in the breeze 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 We'll send the seeds out in the breeze Redefine your priorities these are extraordinary qualities to find on earth comin' down,comin' down
