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
