Back on earth - Ozzy Osbourne

[April46322]

Anybody have any idea what the song Back on Earth is about???

I lost my brother a year ago and this song just made me cry, not sure why.

Here are the lyrics in case someone else wants to interpret

Back On Earth

I have fallen from grace, and my ashes are scattered

No longer of passion and flesh

My flame is alive, though my wings have been shattered

They lay my body to rest

My spirit is breathing, my senses are pure

Like reincarnation, my soul will endure

Back on earth...

The spirit, it never lets go

Like fountains of sorrow, the faces are crying

I'm witnessing all of their pain

Death is so final, for only the living

The spirit will always remain

Bury me deep, just to cover my sins

My soul is redeemed, as the journey begins

Back on earth (you feel me)

Back on earth (reveal me)

Back on earth, the spirit it never lets go

Another dimension, a river of life

I'm twisting, I'm turning, my soul is in flight

Back on earth (you feel me)

Back on earth (reveal me)

Back on earth (still breathing)

Back on earth (reliving)

"A man who had died and come back to life"

"Death, and the spirit returning to Earth after you die."

Towards November '96, Ozzy played his last show of the tour in Hawaii. His

plans now were to go back to the studio to release a 'Greatest Hits' package

(early 1997) which will have his older songs and three new ones. One of

them would be a song called "Back on Earth" which was co-written with Steve

Vai.

Never thought Ozzy could write something so touching
