[BARRIE]When your feet don't touch the groundAnd your voiceWon't make a soundHere it's safeIn this placeAbove the clouds

[PETER]When your feet touch the groundYour voiceMakes a soundIt tells the truthThere's no useFor clouds

When your feet don't touch the earthYou can't feel the things that hurtAnd you're freeThere's no needTo come down

When your feet touch the earthYou can feel the things that hurtAnd I am fineAs longAs I'm down

When your feet don't touch the groundWhen your feetDon't touch the ground

When your feet touch the ground...Touch the ground
