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 long 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

But a whole lot of ground to gain


When you spend your whole life wishing

Watching and wondering why

It's a hard enough life to be living 

Why walk when you can fly?


In this world there's a whole lot of golden

In this world there's a whole lot of plain

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

But with the rest of the time you've been given

Why walk when you can fly

High

High
