Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Back to the Earth I screamed and no one listened to me

Back to the Earth, I lived and they all followed

[Verse 2]

Well, come on, come on, see my world, my world

Well, come on, come on, see my world, my world, hey

[Verse 3]

Well, comin' down now too, right in my way

Well, come on, come on, see my world, won't you fly high? Ooh

Well, come on, come on, see my world, my world

Well, come on, come on, see my world, my world, hey

[Verse 4]

Write my way, write my way, my way

Write my way, write my way, my way, hey

Write my way, write my way, my way

Write my way, write my way, my way, hey

[Verse 5]

Back to the Earth I feel it

Back to the Earth, I'm fallin'

Back to the Earth I feel it

Back to the Earth, I'm fallin'

[Verse 6]

Many divisions of you, many divisions of me

Many divisions of you, many divisions of me, hey

Many divisions of you, many divisions of me

Many divisions of you, many divisions of me when we are so young

[Verse 7]

Hey, oh, mama, free my soul (Hey, oh, hey, mama)

Hey, oh, mama, free my soul (Hey, oh, hey, mama)

Hey, oh, mama, free my soul (Hey, oh, hey, mama)

Hey, oh, mama, free my soul (Hey, oh, hey, mama)

[Verse 8]

Hey, oh, mama (Hey, oh, hey, mama, free my soul)

Hey, oh, mama (Hey, oh, hey, mama, free my soul)

Hey, oh, mama (Hey, oh, hey, mama, free my soul)

Hey, oh, mama (Hey, oh, hey, mama, free my soul)

[Verse 9]

So back to the Earth I feel it

Yeah, back to the Earth, I'm fallin'

Back to the Earth I feel it

Back to the Earth, I'm fallin'

Back to the Earth, yeah

[Verse 10]

Many divisions of you, many divisions of me

Many divisions of you, many divisions of me

So young

[Verse 11]

Hey, oh, mama, free my soul (Hey, oh, hey, mama)

Hey, oh, mama, free my soul (Hey, oh, hey, mama)

Hey, oh, mama, free my soul (Hey, oh, hey, mama)

Hey, oh, mama, free my soul (Hey, oh, hey, mama)

[Verse 12]

Hey, oh, mama (Hey, oh, hey, mama, free my soul)

Hey, oh, mama (Hey, oh, hey, mama, free my soul)

Hey, oh, mama (Hey, oh, hey, mama, free my soul)

Hey, oh, mama (Hey, oh, hey, mama, free my soul)
