歌曲歌詞
A long time ago in a far away land
Theo was the man who learned to understand
The riches of the earth
And all that it was worth
The first man that ever tried
to stand with his own plan
Now this man was all about the wind rain and trees
He knew that it would take care of all of his families
Now Ion was the son who spent his nights and days
Looking for all kinds of ways to get his father's praise
In all daddy's ways he just wanted to impress
Make it faster stronger is what he tried to stress
Sofia was the girl
Living in her own world
She found love and joy with a young sky boy
Sky boys were seen as less to the rest
So it would seem
Sofia went into the woods to daydream
With love in her eyes
Her own father would despise
Her love for the young sky boy he would destroy
Feet in the earth
Heads in the sky
We watch the world go by
Feet in the earth
Heads in the sky
We watch as life goes by
When Theo was gone his son Ion took the power
And in his daddy's name he built
the biggest strongest tower
The earth people and sky people divided
by machines
And the ones who had nothing were
the ones who had the wings
The sky boy just wanted everything to be equal
From full-time lover to now fighting for his people
Now Beth was the mom
Who really loved to weave
She couldn't believe her own son would decieve
The sky people got hungry
and their welfare was ignored
She let them in the tower
and the bloody battle roared
Down came iron and the tower fell as well
The dark days were over and the sky people's hell
Feet in the earth
Heads in the sky
We watch the world go by
Feet in the earth
Heads in the sky
We watch as life goes by
Sofia and the sky boy had long been kept apart
Sofia grief was faded it was joy that filled her heart
Wrapped in his loving wings Sofia took her man
So the earth and sky united
It was all father's plan
Theo kept an acorn
Sofia had carefully safely saved
It was planted in the ground
that her brother had once paved
With a rustling and a creaking an unearthly sound
Something big started growing right
out of the fertile ground
It was the biggest tree that any
