Song Lyrics
Words & music by Paul Simon
You got to learn how to fall
Before you learn to fly
And mama, mama it ain`t no lie
Before you learn to fly
Learn how to fall
You got to drift in the breeze
Before you set your sails
It`s an occupation where the wind prevails
Before you set your sails
Drift in the breeze
Oh and it`s the same old story
Ever since the world began
Everybody got the runs for glory
Nobody stop and scrutinize the plan
Nobody stop and scrutinize the plan
You got to learn how to fall
Before you learn to fly
The tank towns they tell no lie
Before you learn to fly
Learn how to fall
