Neeley Bridges - On The Ground lyrics

rate me

breathe out all your bitter wind

and fake some optimism for the cheering crowd

even though the air is blowing thin

there’s a danger that I dare not name out loud

cause oh my fear of heights is growing ever stronger

the more I climb the more I’m afraid of looking down

I’m not giving up but I can’t live this way much longer

cause I’ll never be happy in the sky until I’m happy on the ground

and if you’d shown me where I’d go when I was younger

I’d say I’ve reached the point of “who could ask for more”

but once you’re taken in by someone else’s hunger

you have to wonder who are you achieving for

cause oh my fear of heights has paralyzed the yearning

it’s not the climb is just the thought of coming down

I’ll never give up but with each stumble I am learning

that I’ll never be happy in the sky until I’m happy on the ground

breathe out and let the color in

and me redefine my measure of success

it isn’t worth another empty win

when I take for granted what I already possess

and oh my fear of heights can’t hold me back forever

you’ve got to climb until you find your way back down

but I’m not looking up until I pull myself together

I’ll never be happy in the sky until I’m happy on the ground
