Song Lyrics

(Verse 1) I can jump up to the sky, My feet go flying, oh so high! I can leap and jump and bound, But I always land on the ground! (Chorus) Gravity, gravity, pull me down! The strongest force in all the town! No matter how I try and fly, Gravity pulls me from the sky! (Verse 2) I jump on the bed with a big loud thump, My body goes up with a joyful jump! But the Earth holds a string so strong, It pulls me back where I belong! (Chorus) Gravity, gravity, pull me down! The strongest force in all the town! No matter how I try and fly, Gravity pulls me from the sky! (Bridge) When I drop my bouncy ball, It never goes up, it has to fall! Gravity is always there, Pulling everything from the air! (Chorus) Gravity, gravity, pull me down! The strongest force in all the town! No matter how I try and fly, Gravity pulls me from the sky!

FAQs

What is gravity?

Gravity is an attractive force between objects with mass. Earth has a lot of mass, so it pulls people, air, water, and dropped objects toward its center.

Why do we come back down after jumping?

Your legs push you upward, but Earth's gravity keeps pulling downward. When your upward motion slows, gravity brings you back to the ground.

Is gravity the same as weight?

Not exactly. Mass is how much matter you have. Weight is how strongly gravity pulls on that mass.

Why do astronauts seem weightless?

Astronauts in orbit are still under gravity, but they are falling around Earth with their spacecraft. That free fall makes them feel weightless.
