[Spoken:]
This song is talking about dealing with times of trouble
When your, when your head seems to be starting to explode
And the weight on your back seems to be overloading
And you're dragging your feet behind you

(Feet on the ground)
Yeah
Are we ready?
(Yeah) Yeah?

I'm talking about people living life each day
My kind of people (Ooh, ooh) trying to make their own way (Ooh)

I'm talking about living (Living)
Living like you can
Like a common people (People)
Like a common dance
I say, I say

I got my feet on the ground
Got my feet on the ground (Buried in soul)
Got my feet on the ground
Got my feet on the ground (Oh, yeah, yeah)

I ain't talking about jet fighters
Flying low overhead
I ain't talking about steel girders silver steel
Battle ships filling each others bellies full of lead
No, I ain't talking about war machines
Or games made to destroy
No, I'm talking about human beings, yeah
Like girls and boys
Like you and me
You may not all feel that much clearer, but
It means love anyway
Now I say, I say, I say

I've got my feet on the ground
Got my feet on the ground
Got my feet on the ground
Got my feet on the ground
