Did you (C)think that your (D)feet (C)had been (C)bound

by (D)what (C)grav i ty (D)brings (C)to (D)the ground?

(D)Did you (Am)feel you were (F)tricked by the (Am)fu ture you (F)picked?

Well, come on (C)down.

(D)All these (Am)rules don’t ap (F)ply when you’re (Am)high in the (F)sky; so come on (C)down,

We’re com ing (Am)down to the ground,

We’ve got (Am)snow up on the (D)moun tains, we’ve got (Am)riv ers down be (D)low.

We’re com ing (Am)down to the ground to hear the (Am)birds sing ing in the (D)trees.

And the (Am)land will be looked (D)af ter; we’ll send the (Am)seeds out in the (D)breeze.
