Flexible Flyer Lyrics

I think this is the most affecting lyric Hart ever wrote. Note how he appears to be addressing both a child and an adult at the same time; the song becomes both a warning and a lament.

Now 26 years after I first heard this song, I hope that I'm still growing and not just growing old.
