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
