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 lot of 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?

And in this world there's a whole lot of golden 
In this world there's a whole lot of pain 
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?
