Why Walk When You Can Fly — текст песни (Mary Chapin Carpenter)

(Mary Chapin Carpenter)

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
