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 I'm learning to fly but I ain't got wings Coming down is the hardest thing The good ol' days may not return And the rocks might melt and the sea may burn I'm learning to fly but I ain't got wings Coming down is the hardest thing 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 I'm learning to fly but I ain't got wings Coming down is the hardest thing
