Listen and hear each word Stop or you'll miss the birds They sing in the top of the trees Sometimes when you look you can't see But up there you will know that it's round You're living too close to the ground Come where the lights are grand Leave now without a plan You can get away if you choose Confess you, you've nothing to lose And I can show you where it's found You're living too close to the ground You've nothing to lose... Brush so you pass it by Don't let it catch your eye Don't stop you might look a fool Standing with love in your eyes Trying hard to believe what you've found You're living too close to the ground I once held him close to me Listened and heard him breathe Just like I've done all my life His heart was the image of mine Oh, but my wings just couldn't be found I was living too close to the ground His heart was the image of mine I was living too close to the ground
