Ben Harper & The Innocent Criminals Ground on Down lyrics

I believe in a few things
God, the Devil and love
Oh, 'cause I've looked up from the bottom
Oh, and I've stared down from above

And I have faith in a few things
Divinity, divinity and grace
But even when I'm on my knees
I know that the Devil prays

And you're workin' your way
From the ground on down

I hate to say that I love you
Well, because it means that I
Will be with you forever
Or will sadly, sadly, sadly say goodbye

And I love to say I hate you

Because it means that I
Can live my life happily without you
Or will sadly, sadly, sadly live a lie

And you're workin' your way
From the ground on down, on down
Your way from the ground

Life is short, and if your lookin' for extension
With your time, you had best do well
'Cause there's good deeds, and there is good intention
They're as far apart, as Heaven and Hell

I said you're workin' your way
From the ground on down, on down
Your way from the ground
