Lyrics
We will fly
Way up high
Where the cold wind blows
Or in the sun
Laughing having fun
With all the people that she knows
And if the situation
Should keep us separated
You know the world won't fall apart
And you will free the beautiful bird
That's caught inside your heart
Can't you hear her?
Oh, she cries so loud
Casts her wild note
Over water and cloud
That's the way it's gonna be, little darlin'
We'll be riding on the horses, yeah
Way up in the sky, little darlin'
If you fall I'll pick you up, pick you up
Woo, woo, woo
You will grow
And until you go
I'll be right there by your side
And even then
Whisper the wind
And she will carry up your ride
I hear all the people of the world
In one bird's lonely cry
See them trying every way they know how
To make their spirit fly
Can't you see him?
He's down on the ground
Has a broken wing
Looking all around
That's the way it's gonna be, little darlin'
You go riding on the horses, yeah
Way up in the sky, little darlin'
If you fall I'll pick you up, pick you up
That's the way it's gonna be, little darlin'
We'll be riding on the horses, yeah
Way up in the sky, little darlin'
If you fall I'll pick you up, pick you up
If you fall I'll pick you up, pick you up
If you fall, I'll pick you up, pick you up (pick you up, pick you up)
Pick you up darling if you fall
Don't you worry 'bout a thing, little girl
Because I was young myself not so long ago
When I was young (if you fall I'll pick you up, pick you up)
When I was young (if you fall I'll pick you up, pick you up)
Oh, ooh when I was young (if you fall I'll pick you up, pick you up)
Oh, I was a wild, wild, wild one (if you fall I'll pick you up, pick you up)
Oh, ohh, woo
Ohh
The horse was gone
