Learn How to Fall - Paul Simon

You got to learn how to fall

Before you learn to fly

And mama, mama it aint no lie

Before you learn to fly

Learn how to fall

You got to drift in the breeze

Before you set your sails

Its an occupation where the wind prevails

Before you set your sails

Drift in the breeze

Oh and its 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
