Still Learning How to Fly

The hour is early

The whole world is quiet

A beautiful morning's about to ignite

I'm ready for danger

I'm ready for fire

I'm ready for something to lift me up higher

Life's been good, I guess

My ragged old heart's been blessed

With so much more than meets the eye

I've got a past I won't soon forget

You ain't seen nothing yet

I'm still learning how to fly

It's the dreams that die hard

With old habits to break

You can't let down your guard

When there's so much at stake

I'm halfway to heaven, halfway to hell

But I might roll a seven

You never can tell

Life's been good it's true

When I'm feeling just like new

The same old rules need not apply

I've got a past full of sticks and stones

And a good feeling in my bones

I'm still learning how to fly

I want to go faster

I don't want to slow down

I don't want to get off of this merrygoround

I want to be reckless

I want to be vain

I want to make love like a runaway train

Life's been good I said

I'm 10,000 miles ahead

The day I rest is the day I die

I've got a past like a broken wing

But you ain't seen anything

I'm still learning how to fly

I'm still learning how to fly
