Did you think that your feet had been bound
By what gravity brings to the ground?
Did you feel you were tricked
By the future you picked?
Well, come on down

All those rules don’t apply
When you’re high in the sky
So, come on down
Come on down

We’re coming down to the ground
There’s no better place to go
We’ve got snow up on the mountains
We’ve got rivers down below

We’re coming down to the ground
We hear the birds sing in the trees
And the land will be looked after
We send the seeds out in the breeze

Did you think you’d escaped from routine
By changing the script and the scene?
Despite all you made of it
You’re always afraid
Of the change

You’ve got a lot on your chest
Well, you can come as my guest
So come on down
Come on down

We’re coming down to the ground
There’s no better place to go
We’ve got snow up on the mountains
We’ve got rivers down below

We’re coming down to the ground
We hear the birds sing in the trees
And the land will be looked after
We send the seeds out in the breeze

Like the fish in the ocean
We felt at home in the sea
We learned to live off the good land
Learned to climb up a tree
Then we got up on two legs
But we wanted to fly
When we messed up our homeland
We set sail for the sky

We’re coming down to the ground
There’s no better place to go
We’ve got snow up on the mountains
We’ve got rivers down below

We’re coming down to the ground
We hear the birds sing in the trees
And the land will be looked after
We send the seeds out in the breeze

We’re coming down
Coming down to Earth
Like babies at birth
Coming down to Earth
We’re gonna find new priorities
These are extraordinary qualities

We’re coming down to the ground
There’s no better place to go
We’ve got snow up on the mountains
We’ve got rivers down below

We’re coming down to the ground
We hear the birds sing in the trees
And the land will be looked after
We send the seeds out in the breeze

We’re coming down to the ground
There’s no better place to go
We’ve got snow up on the mountains
We’ve got rivers down below

We’re coming down to the ground
We hear the birds sing in the trees
And the land will be looked after
We send the seeds out in the breeze

We’re gonna find new priorities
These are extraordinary qualities

    AMAZING Film, message and Peter Gabriel’s song is the perfect fit of inspiration! Thank you PIXAR!

  2. Eduardo Aguiar Says:

    beutiful film…my daughter had tears in her eyes. About Peter music, is not any surprise because since Genesis, his art is more than just thanks for everything.

  3. Cheryl Says:

    We listened to it and think it’s “Redefine your priorities”. Then there’s one more line at the end that I think is “To find on earth”. Great song! :)

  4. John C. Says:

    Yeah, great song, but are you Guys paying attention or Acting like you used to?
    Pay attention… do some small changes in your life, so this and other desperate songs
    will make a real difference, it doesnt matter if your daughter had tears in her eyes, if
    you keep sending plastic to the oceans, because its comfortable to carry plastic bags
    from the supermarket, its not about redefining your priorities either, its MAKING A CHANGE TODAY.
    how many more movies/songs/messages do you need?
    thanks
