Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I started out

On a dirty road

Started out

All alone

[Verse 2]

And the sun went down

As I crossed the hill

And the town lit up

And the world got still

[Verse 3]

I'm learning to fly

But I ain't got wings

Coming down

Is the hardest thing

[Verse 4]

Well the good 'ol days

May not return

And the rocks may melt

And the sea may burn

[Verse 5]

I'm learning to fly

But I ain't got wings

Coming down

Is the hardest thing

[Verse 6]

Ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh

[Verse 7]

Some say life

Will beat you down

Break your heart

Steal your crown

[Verse 8]

So I've started out

For God knows where

I guess I'll know

When I get there

[Verse 9]

I'm learning to fly

Around the clouds

But what goes up

Must come down

[Verse 10]

I'm learning to fly

But I ain't got wings

Coming down

Is the hardest thing

[Verse 11]

Coming down

Is the hardest thing

[Verse 12]

Ooh, ooh

Ooh, ooh
