I'm Learning To Fly

I'm gonna separate
The green glass from the clear
And try to be more responsible
So glad to be here
Forty thousand Indonesians
Fathers, mothers, children died
When Krakatoa blew sky high
I'm living to love in a dying world
I'm learning to fly
I'm living to love in a dying world
I'm learning to fly
Time will evaporate
The tears of yesteryear
As they tumble to the sea
And rise to the stratosphere
Make that phone call, write that letter
Live today to make amends
Yes, I know I've hurt you, dear friend
I'm living to love in a dying world
I'm learning to fly
I'm living to love in a dying world
I'm learning to fly
Everybody suffers
Is it enough to cry
When ashes fall on the innocent?
Spirit of God, love within
Free my soul to ride the wind
(But how is mercy reconciled
With the pain of a wounded child?)
I'm living to love in a dying world
I'm learning to fly
I'm living to love in a dying world
I'm learning to fly
