Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[PreChorus]
Can't you hear her?
She cries so loud
Cast a wild note
Over water and cloud
[Chorus]
That's the way it's gonna be, little darling
We'll be riding on the horses, yeah, yeah
Way up in the sky, little darling
And if you fall, I'll pick you up, pick you up
[Verse 2]
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 (People of the world)
In one bird's lonely cry
See them trying every way they know how
To make their spirit fly
[PreChorus]
Can't you see him?
He's down on the ground
Has a broken wing
Looking all around
[Chorus]
That's the way it's gonna be, little darling (Be, little darling)
You'll go riding on the horses, yeah, yeah
Way up in the sky, little darling (In the sky, little darling)
Oh, and if you fall, I'll pick you up, pick you up
[Chorus]
That's the way it's gonna be, little darling (Be, little darling)
You'll go riding on the horses, yeah, yeah
Way up in the sky, little darling (In the sky, little darling)
And if you fall, I'll pick you up, I'll pick you up
[Chorus]
That's the way it's gonna be, little darling
You'll go riding on the horses, yeah, yeah (Pick you up, darling)
Way up in the sky, little darling (If you fall, don't you worry 'bout a thing, girl)
And if you fall, I'll pick you up, I'll pick you up ('Cause I was young myself not so long ago)
[Chorus]
That's the way it's gonna be, little darling
You'll go riding on the horses, yeah, yeah
Way up in the sky, little darling
And if you fall, I'll pick you up, I'll pick you up
[Chorus]
That's the way it's gonna be, little darling
You'll go riding on the horses, yeah, yeah
Way up in the sky, little darling (When I was young, oh, wi-wild, wild, wild)
And if you fall, I'll pick you up, I'll pick you up
