Learning to Fly Songtext
von Ruthie Foster

It′s a good life that you're leading
It′s a shame that you're leaving
When you're tired of all the pleasing
In the name of a happy home
So you say, "So long" ′til you′re ordinary
And you're taking only what you can carry
Like that little black dress that you love wearing
When you feel like you wanna be alone


Everybody knows that the seed must die so the flower can grow
Well, you′ve been spinning 'round and tearing down walls
You′ve been yearning, learning how to fly
Never knowing why
And when you soar, love means so much more
And in time, you'll be fine

There′s a phone in your head that won't stop ringing
There's a song in your ear, you can′t stop singing
There′s a giving and needing
And voices are pleading for you to wake up and sound out your name
Full moon shining in that starry black sky
There's no time to waste, no time to ask why
You just follow your heart and follow the signs
And there′s no one to call or to blame


Everybody knows the seed must die so the flower can grow
Well, you've been spinning ′round and tearing down walls
You've been yearning, learning how to fly
Never knowing why
And when you soar, love means so much more
And in time, you′ll be fine
