Friends on the Ground

from Portal by Jon Mitchell

lyrics

You gotta be a giant to stand with me
you gotta stand taller than the tallest trees
so I believe that you can see
over the horizon

But I haven’t learned not to trust what I see
witches and wizards know how to trick me
I’ve been deceived, and so I try to read
the skies my heart flies in

If I see storm clouds coming in
I’ll try so hard to descend
but the currents always catch me in the end
I know where I’m headed
and I know where I’ve been
but my compass just spins and spins

Now I see a maze when I look in your eyes
when you hold my gaze, I feel surprised
It delights me to see you
playing with the lights

But now I’ve gotten lost and turned around
I used to grow up, but now I’m growing down
I’m growing down, growing down
to my friends on the ground

So I’m going down
I’m going down
mayday, baby
I’m going down

So come on down,
come on down
to your friends on the ground
