- Never Got Off The Ground
Testo Never Got Off The Ground
Testo Never Got Off The Ground
My father was a farmer
But his head was in the sky
He worked everyday but Sunday
Until the day he died
He prayed for rain and thunder
And listened for the sound
In the dry years he went under He never got off the ground
We all dream when we're younger
That we will do great things
Me? I used to have a hunger
To wear a pilot's wings
But the circles that out ran him
Turned my head around
And the planes I had my plans in
Never got off the ground
"Don't raise your hopes,"
I hear so many say,
"The higher they get, the closer they are To flying away."
Fly high away.
"Don't raise your hopes,"
I hear so many say,
"The higher they get, the closer they are
To flying away."
They say there but for fortune
Is the way it would've been
If we can take a bigger portion
It would fill our heads again
You see them on the sidewalks
In the parks all over town
Those who've taken flight
Never got off the ground
But his head was in the sky
He worked everyday but Sunday
Until the day he died
He prayed for rain and thunder
And listened for the sound
In the dry years he went under He never got off the ground
We all dream when we're younger
That we will do great things
Me? I used to have a hunger
To wear a pilot's wings
But the circles that out ran him
Turned my head around
And the planes I had my plans in
Never got off the ground
"Don't raise your hopes,"
I hear so many say,
"The higher they get, the closer they are To flying away."
Fly high away.
"Don't raise your hopes,"
I hear so many say,
"The higher they get, the closer they are
To flying away."
They say there but for fortune
Is the way it would've been
If we can take a bigger portion
It would fill our heads again
You see them on the sidewalks
In the parks all over town
Those who've taken flight
Never got off the ground
