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 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
 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 wanna go faster
 I don't wanna slow down
 I don't wanna get off of this merry-go-round
 I wanna be reckless
 I wanna be vain
 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
