Make It Look Easy Lyrics - David Wilcox

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 

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 

Make it look easy, easy 

Yeah 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 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 

Make it look easy, easy 

Mud enduros and motocross 

Dish washing money to buy my gas 

But 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 

Make it look easy, easy 

And 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 mistakes 

That's how you make it look easy 

Make it look easy, easy 

Make it look easy, make it look easy, easy
