Why Walk When You Can Fly - Mary Chapin Carpenter lyrics

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?

In this world there's a whole lot of pain
In this world there's a whole lot of trouble but
