Neeley Bridges - On The Ground lyrics

breathe out all your bitter wind and fake some optimism for the cheering crowd even though the air is blowing thin there's a danger that I dare not name out loud cause oh my fear of heights is growing ever stronger the more I climb the more I'm afraid of looking down I'm not giving up but I can't live this way much longer cause I'll never be happy in the sky until I'm happy on the ground and if you'd shown me where I'd go when I was younger I'd say I've reached the point of "who could ask for more" but once you're taken in by someone else's hunger you have to wonder who are you achieving for cause oh my fear of heights has paralyzed the yearning it's not the climb is just the thought of coming down I'll never give up but with each stumble I am learning that I'll never be happy in the sky until I'm happy on the ground breathe out and let the color in and me redefine my measure of success it isn't worth another empty win when I take for granted what I already possess and oh my fear of heights can't hold me back forever you've got to climb until you find your way back down but I'm not looking up until I pull myself together I'll never be happy in the sky until I'm happy on the ground
