Live and Learn
Do you remember when
We said our first goodbye
I was a little boy in a great big world
So many dreams in my eyes
I held my head up high
Determined not to cry
I couldn't let those tears stand in my way
'Cause an eagle has to fly
Everybody's gotta spread their wings and run
Remember life is what you make it, so don't die young
We carry the cross and we pray that we don't get burned
More than who's right or wrong
We've got to live and learn
There's been a lot of pain
A thousand miles of hurt
I've had a friend to turn his back on me
And throw my name in the dirt
Yeah, we've all played the fool
We've broke the golden rule
But there's a higher truth that I must reach
In a world that treats me cruel
Everybody's gotta spread their wings and run
Remember life is what you make it, so don't die young
We carry the cross and we pray that we don't get burned
More than who's right or wrong
We've got to live and learn
When the newborn babies cry
We come to them in the night
But then we have to let them go
And pray they'll win the fight
Everybody's gotta spread their wings and run
Remember life is what you make it, so don't die young
We carry the cross and we pray that we don't get burned
More than who's right or wrong
We've got to live and learn
More than who's right or wrong
We've got to live and learn
