Still Learning How to Fly

The hour is early

The whole world is quiet

A beautiful morning's about to ignite

I'm ready for danger

I'm ready for fire

I'm ready for something to lift me up higher

Life's been good, I guess

My ragged old heart's been blessed

With so much more than meets the eye

I've got a past I won't soon forget

You ain't seen nothing yet

I'm still learning how to fly

It's your dreams that die hard

With these habits to break

You can't let down your guard when there's so much at stake

I'm halfway to Heaven

Halfway to Hell

But I might roll a seven, you never can tell

Life's been good, it's true

When I'm feeling just like new

The same old rules need not apply

I've got a past full of sticks and stones

And a good feeling in my bones

I'm still learning how to fly

I wanna go faster

I don't wanna slow down

I don't wanna get off of this merry-go-round

I wanna be reckless

I wanna be vain

I wanna make love like a runaway train

Life's been good, I've said

I'm ten thousand miles ahead

The day I rest is the day I die

I've got a past like the broken wing

But you ain't seen anything

I'm still learning how to fly

I'm still learning how to fly
