"Why Walk When You Can Fly"

In this world, there's a whole lot of trouble
In this world, there's a whole lot of pain
In this world, there's a whoel lot of trouble, but
A whole lot of ground to gain

Why take when you could be giving?
Why watch as this 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 lot of ground to gain

Whyen 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

And 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
For the rest of the time that you're given
Why walk when you can fly?
