Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well it started out down a dirty road
Started out all alone
And the sun went down as I crossed the hill
And the town lit up, and the world got still
[Verse 2]
I'm learning to fly
But I ain't got wings
Comin' down is the hardest thing
[Verse 3]
Now the good old days may not return
And the rocks might melt
And the sea may burn
[Verse 4]
I'm learning to fly
(Learning to fly)
But I ain't got wings
And comin' down
(Learning to fly)
Is the hardest thing
[Verse 5]
Yes, it is
[Verse 6]
Now some say life
Will beat you down
And it'll break your heart
Steal your crown
[Verse 7]
So I started out
For God knows where
But I guess I'll know when
When I get there
[Verse 8]
I'm learning to fly
(Learning to fly)
But I ain't got wings
And coming down
(Learning to fly)
Is the hardest thing
[Verse 9]
I'm learning to fly
(Learning to fly)
(But I ain't got wings)
(And coming down)
(Is the hardest thing)
[Verse 10]
Hey, that's right
(I'm learning to fly)
I tell you one day, baby
(But I ain't got wings)
I'm gonna learn to fly
(And coming down)
I fly over my trouble
(Is the hardest thing)
Fly over my worries
[Verse 11]
(Learning to fly)
Fly up high in the blue sky
(But I ain't got wings)
Looking down on the world below
(And coming down)
Way above all my worries
(Is the hardest thing)
And over my troubles
[Verse 12]
(Learning to fly)
Yes, I did, yes, I will
Gonna learn how to fly
(But I ain't got wings)
(And coming down)
Baby, that's the hardest thing
