Learning to Fly

If you have ever spent any amount of time with me, you will probably heard at least one Tom Petty song playing in the background.  If you were lucky, you got the hear me belt out the lyrics.  It may not have sounded pretty but the meaning behind the lyrics are pretty powerful to me.

 

I have told you about my "Breakdown" experience, but here is another Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers song that really rings in my ear - especially now.  I am "Learning to Fly".

 

Learning To Fly

 

Well I started out down a dirty road
Started out all alone
And the sun went down as I crossed the hill
And the town lit up, the world got still

 I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings
Coming down is the hardest thing

Well the good ol' days may not return
And the rocks might melt and the sea may burn

 I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings
Coming down is the hardest thing

Well some say life will beat you down
Break your heart, steal your crown
So I've started out for God knows where
I guess I'll know when I get there

I'm learning to fly, around the clouds
But what goes up must come down

 I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings
Coming down is the hardest thing
