Lyrics

Back to Earth

I guess my heart has settled back to Earth

I rode a dream so wild and free for all that dream was worth

But true love is both a blessing and a curse

Today my heart just settled back to Earth

Now I know just how you felt that night so long ago

But the dream for you had ended and you let me know

So I bounced from sky to sky

Tryin' to keep the dream alive

But everything I did just made it worse

Guess my heart just settled back to Earth

Love created songs that I still sing

Love we knew still makes the rafters red

Tonight I'll sing for everything I'm worth

For all the hearts that settle back to Earth

Songs our love created I still sing

Love we knew still makes the rafters red

Tonight I'll sing for everything I'm worth

For all the hearts that settle back to Earth

Our song will never have a final verse

Our hearts just finally settled back to Earth
