Down Here On The Ground - Lou Rawls

Down here on 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, yeah

One morning soon

I gotta find

Some wings on my mind

Wings to take me high

So if you hear a sound

If you hear a sound

From down here on the ground

I said my friends

It’s only me

I will be trying to fly

Trying to fly

Live a bird I would love to fly

Because I’m tired of being

Down here on the ground

Yes I’m tired of being

Down here on the ground, yeah
