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 would do, yeah

I got to where I wanted but finally I see

The only thing I really want is you



Earth, wind and fire

It's 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're gonna 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

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 will give it away

If I could go back in time I'll make a change

No classes to hide or pay (that line is so wrong, sorry ppl!)

If only for a night

If only for a day



Earth, wind and fire

It's bringing me down, you're my only desire

Earth, wind and fire

Only your love can take me higher



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

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

It's bringing me down, you're my only desire

Earth, wind and fire

Only your love can take me higher



Yea-eh-yea...



Earth, wind and fire

It's bringing me down, you're my only desire

Earth, wind and fire

Only your love can take me higher
