|
|
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.
|
Class 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...
