lyrics

Well, I 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
The world got still

I'm learning to fly
But I ain't got wings
Coming down
Is the hardest thing

Well the good ol' days
May not return
And the rocks might melt
And the sea may burn

I'm learning to fly
(I'm learning to fly)
But I ain't got wings
(I'm learning to fly)
And coming down
(I'm learning to fly)
Is the hardest thing
(I'm learning to fly)

Now some say life
Will beat you down
Yeah, break your heart
Steal your crown

So I started out
For God knows where
I guess I'll know
When I get there

I'm learning to fly
Around the clouds
But what goes up
Must come down
I'm learning to fly
(I'm learning to fly)
But I ain't got wings
Coming down
Is the hardest thing
I'm learning to fly
(I'm learning to fly)
Around the clouds
But what goes up
(I'm learning to fly)
Must come down

I'm learning to fly
(I'm learning to fly)
(I'm learning to fly)
I'm learning to fly
(I'm learning to fly)
(I'm learning to fly)
(I'm learning to fly)
