Mary Chapin Carpenter - Why Walk When You Can Fly lyrics

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 lot of 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? And in this world there's a whole lot of golden In this world there's a whole lot of pain In this world you've a soul for a compa** 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?
