[Verse 1]

Down here on the ground

Ain't no place for livin'

Down here on the ground

Watching sparrows fly

I watch the birds

As they make their wings

They're flying kinda free

And I wish it were me, mhm, mhm, mhm

[Chorus]

Down here on the ground

Wanting something better

Down here on the ground

Wanting something more, mhm

[Bridge]

One morning soon

You'll find

I got wings on my mind

Wings to take me high

So, if you hear a sound

From down here on the ground

Don't you know, my friend, it's only me

It's only me tryin' to fly

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]

Down here on the ground

Ain't no place for livin'

Down here on the ground

Watching sparrows fly

I'll watch the birds

As they make their wings

Flying kinda free

And I wish it were, wish it were me, mhm, mhm, mhm

[Chorus]

Down here on the ground

Wanting something better

Down here on the ground

Wanting something more, mhm

[Bridge]

One morning soon

You'll find

I got wings on my mind

Wings to take me high

So, if you hear a sound

From way down here on the ground

Don't you know, my friend, it's only me

It's only me tryin' to fly, mhm, woo-hoo

[Harmonizing]

Down here on the ground

Mmm, right here down here on the ground

Woo-hoo-hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo, hoo-hoo-hoo, mmm

Want a little help now, y'all

I want a little help now

Hey, baby

Down here on the ground

Down, down, down here

On, on the ground

[Harmonizing]

[Outro]

Down here on the ground
