Coconut thuds as it hits the ground.
Buzzing kids all gathered around.
Full basket balances on Mama’s head.
Good food, fresh milk, no need for bread.
Papa climbs another palm with a blade, keen skills and a strap of yarn.
Making his way toward the sky then thud, thud, thud as the coconuts fly…
Down to Earth.
Living in a paradise.
Down to earth.
We count these blessings twice (repeat)
Tide rolls in pushing swell .
To wrap and bend as it does so well.
Inside section, utter perfection.
Pull in tight for a closer inspection.
Daylight coming closer
Let me out we’re gonna make the most of
These sunny days, perfect waves
We fly so high yet the vibe it stays…
Down to Earth…
Simple life. Simple Love.
Simple days I’m dreaming of.
I choose this. Let go of that.
Listen to the rhythm that’s where it’s at.
Sun it rises. Moon it wanes.
All we gotta do is step up and maintain.
Bringing it up. Bringing it in.
Feel suns rays falling on my skin and…
Down to Earth…
