This song talking about dealing with times of trouble When your head seems to be starting to explode And the weight on your back seems to be overloading And you're dragging your feet behind you (Feet on the ground) Yeah Are we ready Yeah, yeah I'm talking about people living life each day My kind of people trying to make their own way I'm talking about living (living) Living like you can Like a common people Like a common dance I say, I say I got my feet on the ground Got my feet on the ground (buried in soul) Got my feet on the ground Got my feet on the ground I ain't talking about jet fighters Flying low overhead I ain't talking about steel girders silver steel Battle ships filling each others bellies full of lead No I ain't talking about war machines Or games made to destroy No I'm talking about human beings yeah Like girls and boys Like you and me You may not all feel that much clearer but It means love anyway I say, I say, I say I've got my feet on the ground Got my feet on the ground Got my feet on the ground Got my feet on the ground
