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 Well the good ol' days may not return And the rocks might melt and the sea may burn (Chorus) 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 I'm learning to fly, around the clouds But what goes up must come down
