Down Here Below Lyrics - Abbey Sings Abbey - Abbey Lincoln

Down here below... 

the winds of change are blowing 

through the weary night. 

i prayed my soul will find me 

shining in the morning light, 

down here below. 

down here below, 

it's not so easy 

just to be. 

sometimes i'm really all at sea. 

you made me when the world was new 

and skies were blue... 

and i'm here because there's you. 

they say i'll never see your face 

and we're out there from your grace, 

the one you fashioned with your hand, 

and scattered all across the land, 

but i am happy just to know 

that you must go 

where i must go 

for there are winds and scars to show 

livin' here down here below... 

down here below, 

the setting sun is shining 

on the melancholy mood. 

i hear the distant thunder 

and the crying of the blue 

down where below 

I'm yours alone 

the only one to call my own 

the only one i've ever known 

sometimes i see you 

standing there 

sometimes i'm freer. 

and you are here, 

down here with me, 

you made me just the way a hear, 

or less feeling, eyes to see 

a strange embrace, a simple hand, 

a spirit free that says: "i can", 

and i'm happy just to know 

that you will go 

where i must go, 

for you send me this i know 

living here, down here below, 

living here, down here below, 

living here, down here below.
