Lou Rawls — DOWN HERE ON THE GROUND lyrics

Lyrics

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
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
