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
