David Wilcox - Make It Look Easy lyrics

from Big Horizon .............................................. A bright kite he's hangin' from Jon rides a glider above the clouds He stepped off Haleakala Ten thousand feet above the ground High up over the mountain snow He rides the air up high and thin Tell us now, we gotta know: How do you get to where you've been? Because you make it look easy You make it look easy, easy. "Fun river to run," she said. Cla** 5 rapids is what she means Weave through the boulders in one thin line No room to eddy-out between A 20-foot high falling wall You ride it down like easy fun What's the trick to falls that tall? How do you do the things you've done? Because you make it look easy You make it look easy, easy. Really it's driving long distance Dialing in the gear Studying the balance Quieting the fear All the hard landings Teach you how to fall But what do you get For getting through it all? You can't keep it in a camera Not a trophy on a shelf Not a tale to tell the children Not a way to prove yourself It's much bigger than we are Can't claim it as your own But you've got to climb that mountain To find your way back home That's how you make it look easy You make it look easy, easy. Mud enduros and motocross Dishwashing money to buy my gas Late at night in the cold garage Building the engine that moved my past Sliding out of the perfect turn To hook up the traction just in time Skip the second half of the double jump Chase it right down to the finish line That's how you make it look easy You make it look easy, easy. Really it's driving long distance Dialing in the gear Studying the balance Quieting the fear All the hard landings All the tough breaks Learning all of your lessons Making all the mistakes That's how you make it look easy You make it look easy, easy. Make it look easy Make it look easy, easy ---- Hear the sound of the rushing wheels Fly by in a gust of wind A bright colored flock of steel Stampede as the race begins Later on up the winding climb You break away and shake the pack You made your move at the perfect time Over your shoulder they're off the back That's how you make it look easy, easy, easy... .............................................. © David Wilcox, all rights reserved
