Why Walk When You Can Fly Lyrics

Mary Chapin Carpenter

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 givin'? Why watch as the world goes by? It's a hard enough life to be livin' 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 wishin' Wantin' and wonderin' why It's a long enough life to be livin' 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 Risin' bright in an azure sky But the rest of the time that you're given Why walk when you can fly high?
