Well 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
  
   Well 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
  
   Well 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
  
   (Repeat Chorus)
