作词 : Carpenter In this world theres a whole lot of trouble baby In this world theres a whole lot of pain In this world theres 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 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 you 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 youve 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 youre given Why walk when you can fly
