Down Here On The Ground Lyrics - Alive! - Grant Green

Down here in 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 

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
