Earth, Wind & Fire Songtext
von V

When I was a kid I made a promise to myself
To get me all the finer things in life
I′ve been on a mission since the day that I was born
But nothing comes without a sacrifice

All that I could think of was how happy I would be
When I got everything that I was due, yeah
I got to where I wanted, but finally I see
The only thing I really want is you, yeah

Earth, wind and fire
Is bringing me down
You're my only desire
Earth, wind and fire
Only your love can take me higher

I′ve been at the crossroads where you go to sell your soul
I thought the deal was I would get it all
I didn't see it coming, I was moving way too fast
That's what happens when you′re on a roll


I hope I′ll be forgiven the mistakes that I have made
But certain things can never be undone (undone)
I don't know where I′m going or where I'm heading to
All I know is where I′m coming from

Now I would give it away (give it away)
If I could go back in time, I'd make a change
No price is too high to pay (too high to pay)
If only for a night (oh)
If only for a day

Earth, wind and fire
Is bringing me down (bringing me down)
You′re my only desire (bringing me down now)
Earth, wind and fire
Only your love can take me higher (higher, oh)

If I can't have you then I don't want nothing at all
I need you there to catch me if I should fall (catch me when I fall)
If I can′t have you then I don′t want nothing at all
I need you there to catch me if I should fall


Earth, wind and fire
Is bringing me down
You're my only desire (only desire)
Earth, wind and fire (earth, wind and fire)
Only your love can take me higher (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Earth, wind and fire
Is bringing me down (bringing me down)
You′re my only desire (bringing me down now)
Earth, wind and fire
Only your love can take me higher
