  • Did you think that your feet had been bound
    By what gravity brings to the ground?
    Did you feel you were tricked
    By the future you picked?
    Well, come on down

    All these rules don't apply
    When you're high in the sky
    So come on down
    Come on down

    We're coming down to the ground
    There's no better place to go
    We've got snow up on the mountains
    We've got rivers down below

    We're coming down to the ground
    To hear the birds sing in the trees
    And the land will be looked after
    We send the seeds out in the breeze

    Did you think you'd escaped from routine
    By changing the script and the scene?
    Despite all you made of it
    You're always afraid of the change

    You've got a lot on your chest
    Well, you can come as my guest
    So come on down
    Come on down

    We're coming down to the ground
    There's no better place to go
    We've got snow up on the mountains
    We've got rivers down below

    We're coming down to the ground
    We'll hear the birds sing in the trees
    And the land will be looked after
    We send the seeds out in the breeze

    Like the fish in the ocean
    We felt at home in the sea
    We learned to live off the good land
    We learned to climb up a tree

    Then we got up on two legs
    But we wanted to fly
    Oh, when we messed up our homeland
    And set sail for the sky

    We're coming down to the ground
    There's no better place to go
    We've got snow upon the mountains
    We got rivers down below

    We're coming down to the ground
    We'll hear the birds sing in the trees
    And the land will be looked after
    We send the seeds out in the breeze

    We're coming down
    Comin' down to earth
    Like babies at birth
    Comin' down to earth
    Redefine your priorities
    These are extraordinary qualities

    We're coming down to the ground
    There's no better place to go
    We've got snow upon the mountains
    We've got rivers down below

    We're coming down to the ground
    We'll hear the birds sing in the trees
    And the land will be looked after
    We send the seeds out in the breeze

    We're coming down to the ground
    There's no better place to go
    We've got snow upon the mountains
    We've got rivers down below

    We're coming down to the ground
    We'll hear the birds sing in the trees
    And the land will be looked after
    We send the seeds out in the breeze

    Redefine your priorities
    These are extraordinary qualities
    To find on earth

    Comin' down, comin' down
    Comin' down, comin' down
    Comin' down, comin' down
    Comin' down, comin' down Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
