We will fly way up high - Where the cold wind blows Or in the sun, laughing, having fun - With 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 a wild note - Over water and cloud
That's the way it's gonna be, little darlin' - We'll go riding on the horses, yeah Way up in the sky, little darlin' - And if you fall I'll pick you up, pick you up
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 spirits fly
Can't you see him? - He's down on the ground He has a broken wing - Looking all around
That's the way it's gonna be, little darlin' - You'll go riding on the horses, yeah Way up in the sky, little darlin' - And if you fall I'll pick you up, pick you up That's the way it's gonna be, little darlin' - You'll go riding on the horses, yeah Way up in the sky, little darlin' - And if you fall I'll pick you up, pick you up
Way up in the sky, little darlin' - I'll pick you up, pick you up Don't worry 'bout a thing little girl Because I was young myself not so long ago Don't worry 'bout a thing little girl, if you fall I'll pick you up That's the way it's gonna be, little darlin' - You'll be riding on the horses, yeah Way up in the sky, little darlin' - And if you fall I'll pick you up, pick you up
