Mary Chapin Carpenter - Why Walk When You Can Fly? Lyrics
In this world there's a whole lot of trouble, babyIn this world there's a whole lot of painIn this world there's a whole lot of troubleBut a whole lot of ground to gainWhy take when you could be giving, why watch as the world goes byIt's a hard enough life to be living, why walk when you can flyIn this world there's a whole lot of sorrowIn this world there's a whole lot of shameIn this world there's a whole lot of sorrowAnd a whole lotta ground to gainWhen you spend your whole life wishing, wanting and wondering whyIt's a long enough life to be living, why walk when you can flyIn this world there's a whole lot of coldIn this world there's a whole lot of blameIn this world you've a soul for a compassAnd a heart for a pair of wingsThere's a star on the far horizon, rising bright in an azure skyFor the rest of the time that you're given, why walk when you can fly
