Down Here On The Ground

Performed by Lou Rawls



Down here in 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



(Repeat *)
