When gravity's dragging you down

Look up



So you see yourself stalking the city

Staring straight down at your feet

You notice the scuff on your shoeshine

You avoid all the holes in the street

And you pity the drunk in the doorway

While you wave the panhandler away

And you take it as a sign of insincerity

When someone says "Have a nice day"



But when gravity's dragging you down

When gravity's dragging you down

When gravity's dragging you down

Look up



Look up where the sun hits the skyline

Where the thunderheads warn of a squall

You don't need to believe in a miracle

It's a miracle to be here at all



Where the bus driver grins through his mustache

And an old woman's lost in her book

And a man is possessed of a paisley vest

That insists upon a second look

And a little girl in a baseball uniform

Is leading her father who's blind

And a man who is muttering under his breath

Is having a very hard time



And when gravity's dragging you down

When gravity's dragging you down

When gravity's dragging you down

Look up



I have looked in the eyes of the damned and despised

Seen souls no different from mine

And what I perceive in this world I believe

Is no more than I'm looking to find



So when gravity's dragging you down

When gravity's dragging you down

When gravity's dragging you down

Look up
