Down On the Ground

歌詞

I thought what I was hearing Was the sound of mission bells Perhaps it was a mission Not from heaven but from hell I lay down my body On the fertile ground I fell All the things seemed clear to me I never felt so well But when the night was over And the morning sun burned through And I listened for the mission bells But a dissonance rang through You shook me up You shook me down But you won't keep me Down on the ground Your love is strong But I've been down too long Why you wanna keep on Doing me wrong I thought what I was hearing Was the voice of my old friend I poured out my feelings And I felt healed again I held that door open And said why don't you stay You're tired and you're hungry I thought I heard you say So you sat down at my table I closed my eyes as you prayed While you filled your every pocket With the living I had made You shook me up You shook me down But you won't keep me Down on the ground Your love is strong But I've been down too long Why you wanna keep on Doing me wrong Be careful who you follow Be suspicious of the messenger I was moments from the gates of insanity I had followed a mirror of my vanity I stood naked stripped of my humanity And I cried to the heavens God get me out of here! Just this time Please get me out of here Be careful who you follow Be suspicious of the messenger Who will comfort and divide you Pretend to be beside you But he'll always be a stranger When you find yourself in danger When you're lost and in the dark Listen to your heart You shook me up You shook me down But you won't keep me Down on the ground Your love is strong But I've been down too long Why you wanna keep on Doing me wrong
