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 lotta 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      In this world there's a whole lot of cold   In this world there's a whole lot of blame   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, rising bright in an azure sky   For the rest of the time that you're given, why walk when you can fly
