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
And 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 got a past that I won't soon forget
And you ain't seen nothing yet
I'm still learning how to fly

It's your dreams that die hard
With these habits to break
You can't let down your guard
When there's so much at stake
I'm halfway to Heaven
And I'm 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
And I'm still learning how to fly

I wanna go faster
I don't wanna slow down
I don't wanna get off of this merry-go-round
I wanna be reckless
But I wanna be there
I wanna make love like a runaway train

Life's been good, I said
I'm ten thousand 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
