The Way We Fly

When I was a little girl I told myself
When I get big I'm gonna be somebody
Yeah, you'll see, I'm gonna be something
Each night I get down on my knees
Give thanks and praise to the good Lord
Could you carry me, oh, lead us to something
Oh and all my days could not prepare me for
The weight of the world and the beautiful pain we call livin'
But that's the way we fly

A woman I thought oh at just 15
Every boy I met, man of my dreams
Marry me?
Oh, I think we could be something
I remember the night oh clear as day
I couldn't believe everything he'd say
How he'd break my heart so easily (He would break so easily)
Oh the weight of the world and the beautiful pain we call livin'
But that's the way we fly
La da da dah, la da da
La da da dah, ooh ooh
Are our hearts made for breaking? Oh yes they are
And all the love we give away, makes life worth living, oh yes it does
That's the way it is, that's the way we fly

I remember the nights in my hotel room
Just me and my guitar singing that blues
And the pain away
So easily
I'm in love with the world and the beautiful pain we call living
Cause that's the way we fly
