Mary Chapin Carpenter - Why Walk When You Can Fly lyrics

rate me

In this world there's a whole lot of trouble, baby

In this world there's a whole lot of pain

In this world there's a whole lot of trouble

But a whole lot of ground to gain

Why take when you could be giving, why watch as the world goes by

It's a hard enough life to be living, why walk when you can fly

In this world there's a whole lot of sorrow

In this world there's a whole lot of shame

In this world there's a whole lot of sorrow

And a whole lotta ground to gain

When you spend your whole life wishing, wanting and wondering why

It's a long enough life to be living, why walk when you can fly

In this world there's a whole lot of cold

In this world there's a whole lot of blame

In this world you've a soul for a compass

And a heart for a pair of wings

There's a star on the far horizon, rising bright in an azure sky

For the rest of the time that you're given, why walk when you can fly
