Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
I'm learning to fly
But I ain't got wings
Coming down
Is the hardest thing
[Verse 2]
Well, the good old days may not return
And the rocks might melt and the sea may burn
[Chorus]
I'm learning to fly (Learning to fly)
But I ain't got wings (Learning to fly)
Coming down (Learning to fly)
Is the hardest thing (Learning to fly)
[Verse 3]
Well, some say life will beat you down
Break your heart, steal your crown
So I've started out, for God knows where
I guess I'll know, when I get there
[Bridge]
I'm learning to fly
Around the clouds
But what goes up (Learning to fly)
Must come down
[Chorus]
I'm learning to fly (Learning to fly)
But I ain't got wings
Coming down
Is the hardest thing
[Chorus]
I'm learning to fly (Learning to fly)
Around the clouds
But what goes up (Learning to fly)
Must come down
[Outro]
I'm learning to fly (Learning to fly, learning to fly)
I'm learning to fly (Learning to fly, learning to fly)
Learning to fly, learning to fly
