Gravity

Gravity is just here to pull us down 
But this planet isn't good enough for you
Too bad we couldn't float out of this town 
To create a world with a better view.

Somewhere between those shining stars and Mars
We would stand before heavens sturdy gates
And study the angels behind the bars
Who swallowed their pride and challenged their fate.

We notice the world is spinning way too fast
The entire human race is wasting space
Look towards the future coming to pass
It's like a long strand of black lace.

What is it like to be the last one there?
Stuck to the ground in silent prayer?

like this a lot sara, "the entire human race is wasting space", i can dig that statement. i wrote a song called gravity a few years back. i think the chorus was something like-"gravity can not keep me, on the ground anymore." thanks for the insightful write.-Fish.
