Friends On The Ground

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

You gotta be a giant to stand with me

You gotta stand taller than the tallest trees

So I believe that you can see

Over the horizon

But I haven’t learned not to trust what I see

Witches and wizards know how to trick me

I’ve been deceived, and so I try to read

The skies my heart flies in

If I see storm clouds coming in

I’ll try so hard to descend

But the currents always catch me in the end

I know where I’m headed

And I know where I’ve been

But my compass just spins and spins

Now I see a maze when I look in your eyes

When you hold my gaze, I feel surprised

It delights me to see you

Playing with the lights

But now I’ve gotten lost and turned around

I used to grow up, but now I’m growing down

I’m growing down, growing down

To my friends on the ground

So I’m going down

I’m going down

Mayday, baby

I’m going down

So come on down,

Come on down

To your friends on the ground
