You've kept me down my whole life through But you've kept the earth spherical, too Well I could just fly to the moon If I could just overrule you
But since you ain't goin' nowhere I'll make the best of your grip on me And everything 'Cause wherever I go you'll be waiting for me
Gravity won't set you free But she forms all the planets and stars that we see Gravity's a beautiful thing That you cannot escape And I'd rather keep it that way
Well you've got a hold of this delicate globe And it's quite a sight to behold To watch as it circles around Our sun as we're glued to the ground
Well I've heard that you're slowing down time Curving space and then bending the light That's trying to keep a straight line On its journey to light up the sky
If it weren't for you there wouldn't be stars No light in the darkness that travels so far Although we could fly so free Inside we would weaken and atrophy
