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...
