On The Ground Lyrics - Singles - Neeley Bridges

breathe out all your bitter wind 

and fake some optimism for the cheering crowd 

even though the air is blowing thin 

there's a danger that I dare not name out loud 

cause oh my fear of heights is growing ever stronger 

the more I climb the more I'm afraid of looking down 

I'm not giving up but I can't live this way much longer 

cause I'll never be happy in the sky until I'm happy on the ground 

and if you'd shown me where I'd go when I was younger 

I'd say I've reached the point of "who could ask for more" 

but once you're taken in by someone else's hunger 

you have to wonder who are you achieving for 

cause oh my fear of heights has paralyzed the yearning 

it's not the climb is just the thought of coming down 

I'll never give up but with each stumble I am learning 

that I'll never be happy in the sky until I'm happy on the ground 

breathe out and let the color in 

and me redefine my measure of success 

it isn't worth another empty win 

when I take for granted what I already possess 

and oh my fear of heights can't hold me back forever 

you've got to climb until you find your way back down 

but I'm not looking up until I pull myself together 

I'll never be happy in the sky until I'm happy on the ground
