Back to Earth

Come down and dance tonight
Under the tree of life
We'll keep the fires burning all night long
And if we think we've passed it
Maybe we finally outlasted it
Where do we come from?
Where are we going to?

I'm gonna keep on driving
Into the night
Maybe crash, turn to ash
Finally find the light
I'm gonna keep on driving
Been waiting for you
Keep on driving
Been waiting for you

Come down, back to earth
Falling hard, it's gonna hurt
Rain down, rain down
Raise your healing hand
Come down, back to earth
Falling alive from death to birth
Rain down, rain down
Heal this broken land
It seems like a million years
Since you famously disappeared

Where did you run to?
How can I run too?

I'm gonna keep on driving
Swallow my pride
Slowly pass the broken glass
Finally find the light

Come down, back to earth
Falling hard, it's gonna hurt
Rain down, rain down
Raise your healing hand
Come down, back to earth
Falling alive from death to birth
Rain down, rain down
Heal this broken land

This is a traditional greeting of my people
That I am bound to give
Albeit, it's a short version
What I said in my own language
Translated into English
Hello my relatives
I am an Oglala Lakota
And I come from our very sacred holy land
The Black Hills

Come down, back to earth
Falling hard, it's gonna hurt
Rain down, rain down
Heal this broken land
Come down, back to earth
Falling hard, it's gonna hurt
Rain down, rain down
Heal this broken land

Keep on singing
We're waiting for you
Keep on dancing
We're waiting for you
Keep on praying
We're waiting for you
Keep on reaching
We're waiting for you
