My Head Was in the Clouds

lyrics

Thought my dreams would all come true
Showers of gold from yonder blue
I traded Earth for stranger views
My head was in the clouds

Now I’m feeling motion sick
Pressure’s cut me to the quick
I’m falling like a ton of bricks
My head was in the clouds

I see my head was in the clouds
Vision blurred but still I vowed
Hallucination’s all I found
But now my feet are on the ground
And it feels good to be on the ground

Thought the voice I heard was God
Didn’t think it all that odd
Doing His will was my only job
My head was in the clouds

But now the voice has gone away
Said what it needed to say
I realized there’d be hell to pay
If my head stayed in the clouds

I see my head was in the clouds
Negativity not allowed
A fantasy was all I found
But now my feet are on the ground
And it feels good to be on the ground

I see my head was in the clouds
I miss the sights, I miss the sounds
But the air was thin and hard to breathe
I told myself to close my eyes and just believe
But it all came crashing down

I see my head was in the clouds
Vision blurred but still I vowed
Hallucination’s all I found
But now my feet are on the ground
And it feels good to be on the ground
