If you're a ship tied to the shore Tethered by a ball of yarn I wanna set you free If you wake up in the eye of the storm Where the wind howls all around That's the place to be Said the old man to me Oh no, it's not the weight that holds you down Oh no, it's not the wind that builds you up Oh no, it's not the sky that sets you free It's only gravity It's only gravity If you're lost somewhere tonight On the roadside all alone I wanna walk with you Walk to the beat of a drum That we heard so long ago And it beats for you And the old man said it's true Oh no, it's not the sky that's tumbling down Oh no, it's not the moon that moves the sea Oh no, it's not the earth that holds you dear to me It's only gravity It's only gravity If you're a ship tied to the shore Tethered by a ball of yarn I wanna set you free
