Make It Look Easy Lyrics

A bright kite he's hangin' from
Jon rides a glider above the clouds
He stepped off Haleakala
Ten thousand feet above the groundHigh 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
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 betweenA 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
Make it look easy, easyYeah 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
Yeah 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 yourselfIt'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 homeThat's how you make it look easy
Make it look easy, easyMud enduros and motocross
Dish washing money to buy my gas
But late at night in the cold garage
Building the engine that moved my pastSliding 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 lineThat's how you make it look easy
Make it look easy, easyAnd really it's driving long distance, dialing in the gear
Studying the balance and quieting the fear
All the hard landings, all the tough breaks
Learning all of your lessons, making all the mistakesThat's how you make it look easy
Make it look easy, easy
Make it look easy, make it look easy, easy
