Mary Chapin Carpenter Lyrics
"Why Walk When You Can Fly"

In this world theres a whole lot of trouble baby
In this worlds theres a whole lot of pain
In this world theres as 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?
Its a hard enough life to be living
why walk when you can fly?

In this world theres a whole lot of sorrow
In this world theres a whole lot of shame
In this world theres a whole lot of sorrow
And a whole lot of ground to gain
When you spend your whole life wishing
Wanting and wondering why
Its a long enough life to be living
Why walk when you can fly?

And in this world theres a whole lot of golden
In this world theres a whole lot of plain
In this world you've a soul for a compass
And a heart for a pair of wings
Theres 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?.....high
