Down Here On The Ground (2006 Digital Remaster) - Lou Rawls

作曲：Lalo Schifrin/Gail Garnett

Down here in the ground

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

I say

My friends

It's only me

It's only me

Trying to fly

Trying to fly

Like a bird I'm

Trying to fly

I'm tired of being

Down here on the ground

I'm tired of being

Down here on the ground

One morning soon

I will find

Some wings on my mind

Wings

To take me high

So if you hear a sound

If you hear a sound

From down here on the ground

I say

My friends

It's only me

It's only me

Trying to fly

Trying to fly

I'm tired of being

Down here on the ground

I say I want to fly

I'm tired of being

Down here on the ground
