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 downAll these rules don't apply
When you're high in the sky
So come on down
Come on downWe'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 belowWe'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 breezeDid 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 changeYou've got a lot on your chest
Well, you can come as my guest
So come on down
Come on downWe'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 belowWe'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 breezeLike 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 treeThen we got up on two legs
But we wanted to fly
Oh, when we messed up our homeland
And set sail for the skyWe're coming down to the ground
There's no better place to go
We've got snow upon the mountains
We got rivers down belowWe'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 breezeWe're coming down
Comin' down to earth
Like babies at birth
Comin' down to earth
Redefine your priorities
These are extraordinary qualitiesWe'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 belowWe'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 breezeWe'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 belowWe'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 breezeRedefine your priorities
These are extraordinary qualities
To find on earthComin' down, comin' down
Comin' down, comin' down
Comin' down, comin' down
Comin' down, comin' down
