lyrics

EARTHBOUND
(Jan. 10, 2021)



So now, it’s come to this… Grounded with but one wish
Earthbound and unable to fly away
So, I have devised a plan… I’ll be a happy man
And I’ll wear a smile for all my friends today
It’s so hard… It’s draining and boring… There’s nowhere nice to play
Complaining each morning, I’m going to find some wings and fly away.

And I might just stay there… see it through
And if I can maybe I’ll call you… I might just call you
I might just call to say ‘Hello and goodbye’.

I no longer am Earthbound
It’s goodbye but not forever… Oh, no
I’ll return when Mother Nature feels better
She has a cold and I can’t stay
Behold… I’ll fly away… Paroled on Judgement Day
I’m told my freedom has been found and I am no longer Earthbound.

Rising to greet the dawn… Crossing the Rubicon
Tilting at windmills, killing only time
While we’re complaining, abhorring… This cell and it’s restraints
Explaining, exploring the patience and the prudence of the saints.

And I cannot waver… anymore
And when I get there I will call you… You know I’ll call you
Of course, I’ll call to say ‘Hello and goodbye’.

I no longer am Earthbound
So goodbye… No, not forever… Oh, no
I’ll return when Mother Nature feels better
She has a cold and I can’t stay
Behold… I’ve flown away… Paroled on Judgement Day
I’m told my freedom has been found and I am no longer Earthbound
