Down to Earth
Finding Home Again: Stevie Wonder's Journey to Belonging
Lyrics
Down to earth once again
Returning to a humble and realistic state once again.
I've been away too long
Been absent for an extended period.
I got lost but then I came home again
Despite getting lost, now back home where one belongs.
Oh where I belong
Feeling at home, where one's true place is.
Down to earth just in time
Arriving back just at the right moment.
To the love I failed to see
Rediscovering a love that was previously overlooked or unrecognized.
I gave up a dream for a change of scene
Abandoned a dream for a change, but now realizing it wasn't the right decision.
Now I'm back where I should be
Returned to the proper place or situation where one should have been.
Down to earth, down to earth
Emphasizing the return to a grounded, realistic state.
All that I lost I have found
Reclaimed what was lost during the absence.
What's it worth this bitter earth
Questioning the value of life without the presence of love.
Without your love around?
Expressing the emptiness or bitterness of life without love.
I got lost in the crowd
Got caught up or overwhelmed in a crowd, losing oneself.
That's the price I had to pay
Had to face consequences for losing touch with oneself.
Cause I couldn't find what I left behind
Struggled to retrieve something left behind until love guided the way.
'Til love showed me the way, yeah
Love served as a guiding force to rediscover what was lost.
Down to earth, down to earth
Reiterating the return to a grounded and realistic state.
All that I lost I have found
Regained what was lost during the absence.
What's it worth this bitter, bitter, bitter earth
Questioning the significance of life's bitterness without love.
Without your love around? Yeah
Highlighting the emptiness or bitterness without the presence of love.
Welcome home little fool
Addressing oneself as having been foolish in the journey back home.
And it's been a long hard climb
Recognizing the challenges faced on the journey back.
From a world unreal to the things I feel
Transitioning from an artificial or unrealistic world to experiencing genuine emotions.
Well love was waiting all the time
Love was present and supportive throughout the journey.
Down to earth, down to earth
Reiterating the return to a grounded and realistic state.
Down, down to earth, yeah, yeah
Emphasizing the return to a grounded and realistic state.
