why walk when you can fly

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
