Back to the Earth - Rusted Root

And the world pulled me high Far above, wicked skies Set me free, set alive I become satellite Isolated I succumb to the weight of the world Separated I fall from the sky Is this death or rebirth? Falling back to the Earth I ignite Engine glow Jettison All I know Isolated I succumb to the weight of the world Separated I fall from the sky Is this death or rebirth? Falling back to the Earth

Whenever my head starts to hurt Before it goes from bad to feeling worse I turn off my phone I get down low And put my hands in the dirt I try to stop the world from moving so fast Try to get a grip on where I'm at And simplify this dizzy life And put my feet in the grass I'm going back to the earth I'm going back to the earth I'm going back to work I'm going back to the earth The only explanation for a high rise Must be that everybody wants to get high And move on up to a deluxe Apartment in the sky Well, the higher we go, the taller we grow old We lose sight of the land below Well, you can have your place up in outer space 'Cause my home is where my food is grown I'm going back to the earth I'm going back to the earth I'm going back to work I'm going back to the earth I'm going back to the earth I'm going back to the earth I'm going back to work I'm going back to the earth (All right lets get the rest in over this bridge) We are animals (we are animals) We are wild (we are wild) We started with the motion At the bottom of the ocean Now we're swinging from the tops of the trees We are animals (we are animals) We are wild (we are wild) And to truly be forgiven We must all get back to living With the land in harmony I'm going back to the earth I'm going back to the earth I'm going back to work I'm going back to the earth I'm going back to the earth I'm going back to the earth I'm going back to work I'm going back to the earth (Two more times around!) I'm going back to the earth I'm going back to the earth I'm going back to work I'm going back to the earth (One more time around!) I'm going back to the earth I'm going back to the earth I'm going back to work I'm going back to the earth

Look at your watch with a perilous gaze A troubled stare And when I ask where do we go Say you don't care Call on me When the day is dark Never too late, you're underrated Whatever your sins, whatever your loss Your cup is filled There is no way to turn back the clock No one will Call on me There's fire in your heart Lying in wait just like a lion Maybe we should go back to the earth And live off the sun Maybe we should crawl in the dirt Before we run A thousand years of art and song Love and war Tell me why you joined the club What are you fighting for All hands on deck A suicide race Prop up the good and smother the hate The wall is high the sun is low The four winds roar Wide-eyed children fill the streets To take back the score There is no truth That lies can make No willing soldiers in the wake Maybe we should go back to the earth And live off the sun Maybe we should crawl in the dirt Before we run Life is fragile The flight of a sparrow Will end And the same goes for us Born from the same rain and dust Maybe we should go back to the earth And life will grow And the river soon to return And a plan unfold Look at your watch with a perilous gaze A troubled stare And when I ask where do we go Say you don't care Call on me When the day is dark Never too late, you're underrated

Whether you sit on athrone Or sit in the dirt (In the end) We all return, return back to earth We all becomedust in the wind Can't deny We all live on borrowed time I accept my fate But I won't let it pacify me I accept my fate But I won't let it pacify me I don't fear my end A life existing, without me I fear a life of regrets Of what could have been When our time comes We all return, back to the earth
