Living Too Close to the Ground
Elevate Your Perspective: Living Beyond Earthly Boundaries
Lyrics
Listen and hear each word
Listen carefully to every word being spoken.
Stop or you'll miss the birds
Pause, or you might miss the songs of the birds.
They sing in the top of the trees
The birds sing from the tops of the trees.
Sometimes when you look, you can't see
Sometimes, even if you look, you may not see.
But up there you will know that its round
A metaphorical reminder that the world is round when viewed from above.
You're living too close to the ground
Warning that living too close to the ground limits one's perspective.
Come where the lights are grand
Invite to experience grandeur and brightness.
Leave now without a plan
Encouragement to leave without a fixed plan.
You can get away if you choose
You have the option to escape if you decide.
Confess it, you've nothing to lose
Admit it, there's nothing to lose by taking a chance.
And I can show you where it?s found
Promise to guide to a better place.
You're living too close to the ground
Reiteration that staying close to the ground is limiting.
Rush so you'll pass it by
Advice to hurry past opportunities.
Don't let it catch your eye
Caution against being captivated by distractions.
Don't stop you might look a fool
Don't hesitate, as hesitation may make you appear foolish.
Standing with love in your eyes
Describing a person with love in their eyes.
Trying hard to believe what you've found
Struggling to believe in something genuine.
You're living too close to the ground
Reiteration of the warning about living too close to the ground.
I once held her close to me
Recalling a moment of intimacy with someone.
Listened and heard her breathe
Listening to the person breathe, emphasizing a close connection.
Just like I have done all my life
Comparing the speaker's heart to the loved one's heart.
Her heart was the image of mine
Expressing similarity and closeness.
Ah, but my wings just couldn't be found
Despite the connection, the speaker couldn't soar or succeed.
I was living too close to the ground
Reiteration of living too close to the ground as a hindrance.
