Well, it started off down a dirty road It started off all alone And as I went down as I crossed the hill And the town lit up and the world got still I'm ready to fly but I ain't got the wings Coming down is the hardest thing Now the good old days may not return And the rocks might melt and the sea may burn I'm ready to fly but I ain't got the wings Coming down is the hardest thing Now some say life will beat you down And it'll break your heart, steal your crown So I started out, forgot no sweat But I guess I'll know when I get there I'm ready to fly but I ain't got the wings And coming down is the hardest thing I'm ready to fly Yeah, that's right I'll tell you one day, baby I'm gonna learn to fly And fly over my troubles Fly over my worries Fly up high in the blue sky Looking down on the world below Yeah, up over my worries And over my troubles Yeah, I guess I will I'm gonna learn to fly Baby, that's the hardest thing
