Staring At The Ground Lyrics

Terry lives in hopes and dreams

Wants to start a family

Finds it hard to open up

People find him too abrupt

He keeps his feelings bottled up

Colleen lives above a shop

She dreams of being an astronaut

Wants to leave her dead-end life

Could cut her boredom with a knife

She wants to fly away tonight

Staring at the ground, never make a sound

Nothing ever changes

Easy to retreat, feels like defeat

Creeping up in stages

Aziz thinks he's hit his stride

He's met his goal, he's filled with pride

But everything comes crashing down

And what is lost is never found

He walks away without a sound

Mindy sleeps through another day

She thinks she's thrown her life away

Paralyzed by a growing fear

Of where she'll be in another year

And another year

Staring at the ground, never make a sound

Nothing ever changes

Easy to retreat, feels like defeat

Creeping up in stages

And it seems to me

There are no guarantees

Staring at the ground, never make a sound

Feeling more courageous

But light is never too far away

Just hold on for another day

Even when it seems like it's impossible

There's always a way out

A way to find what you've been looking for

Clara aches to find her muse

She just received unhappy news

She took some time then walked outside

She knows her dream will never die

She knows her dream will never die

Staring at the ground, never make a sound

Nothing ever changes

Easy to retreat, feels like defeat

Creeping up in stages

And it seems to me

There are no guarantees

Staring at the ground, never make a sound

Feeling more courageous
