Lyrics

Earthbound

Some days it?s so hard to get out of bed and into the car
Some days you feel so strange, you?re all glossy like a magazine

You want a race out and let the spirit release
You want to dance with the poor like you are Mother Theresa
You want to give away your toys and make God an offer
You want to give your life like you were Deitrich Bonhoeffer
But you?re always found earthbound
You?re always so earth sold

Some days its so bad, the world?s on your shoulders like a million boulders
You reach out and you reach back, you look inside and you?re a heart attack

You want to save souls and feed the needy
Calm the wolves like you?re St. Francis of Assisi
You want to ride the wind and take the fall
Spread some good news like you were St. Paul
But you?re always found earthbound
You?re always so earth sold

You want a race out and let the spirit release
You want to dance with the poor like you are Mother Theresa
You want to give away your toys and make God an offer
You want to give your life like you were Deitrich Bonhoeffer
But you?re always found earthbound
You?re always so earth sold

We fall earthbound, scream and kick, just make a sound
We?ll bite the eyes of life, inside and out
