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.

I like the part "Somewhere between those shining stars and Mars" because, I think it speaks a lot about hope.
