Down To Earth

作词 : Peter Gabriel/Thomas Newman

作曲 : Peter Gabriel/Thomas Newman

(Verse 1: Peter Gabriel)

Did you think that your feet had been bound

By what gravity brings to the ground?

Did you feel you were tricked

By the future you picked

Well, come on down

All those rules don't apply

When you're high in the sky

So, come on down

Come on down

(Chorus: Peter Gabriel)

We're coming down to the ground

There's no better place to go

We've got snow upon the mountains

We've got rivers down below

We're coming down to the ground

We hear the birds sing in the trees

And the land will be looked after

We'll send the seeds out in the breeze

(Verse 2: Peter Gabriel)

Did you think you'd escaped from routine

By changing the script and the scene?

Despite all you made of it

You're always afraid

Of the change

You've got a lot on your chest

Well, you can come as my guest

So, come on down

Come on down

(Chorus: Peter Gabriel)

We're coming down to the ground

There's no better place to go

We've got snow upon the mountains

We've got rivers down below

We're coming down to the ground

We hear the birds sing in the trees

And the land will be looked after

We'll send the seeds out in the breeze

(Bridge: Peter Gabriel & Soweto Gospel Choir)

Like the fish in the ocean (A-whoa-a-he)

We felt at home in the sea (A-whoa-a-he)

We learned to live off the good land (A-whoa-a-he)

Learned to climb up a tree (A-whoa-a-he)

Then we got up on two legs (A-whoa-a-he)

But we wanted to fly (A-whoa-a-he)

Oh, when we messed up our homeland (A-whoa-a-he)

And set sail for the sky

(Chorus: Peter Gabriel)

We're coming down to the ground

There's no better place to go

We've got snow upon the mountains

We've got rivers down below

We're coming down to the ground

We hear the birds sing in the trees

And the land will be looked after

We'll send the seeds out in the breeze

(Post-Chorus: Peter Gabriel & Soweto Gospel Choir)

We're coming down (Down)

Coming down to Earth (Down)

Like babies at birth (Down)

Coming down to Earth (Down to Earth)

Redefine new priorities (Down)

These are extraordinary qualities (Down)

(Down)

(Down to Earth)

(Chorus: Peter Gabriel & Soweto Gospel Choir)

We're coming down to the ground (Down to Earth)

There's no better place to go (Down to Earth)

We've got snow up on the mountains (Down to Earth)

We've got rivers down below (We're coming down to Earth)

We're coming down to the ground (Down to Earth)

We hear the birds sing in the trees (Down to Earth)

And the land will be looked after (Down to Earth)

We'll send the seeds out in the breeze (We're coming down to Earth)

We're coming down to the ground (Down to Earth)

There's no better place to go (Down to Earth)

We've got snow up on the mountains (Down to Earth)

We've got rivers down below (We're coming down to Earth)

We're coming down to the ground (Down to Earth)

We hear the birds sing in the trees (Down to Earth)

And the land will be looked after (Down to Earth)

We'll send the seeds out in the breeze (We're coming down to Earth)

(Post-Chorus: Peter Gabriel)

(Redefine new priorities)

(These are extraordinary qualities)

To find on Earth

(Coming down)

(Coming down)

(Coming down) (To find on Earth)

(Coming down)

(Coming down) (To find on Earth)

(Coming down)

(Coming down)

(Coming down)
