We will fly way up high

where the cold wind blows

or in the sun

laughin', havin' 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-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

and 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 tryin' every

way they know how

to make their spirit fly

Can't you see him

he's down on the ground

he's a broken wing

looking all around

That's the way it's

gonna be, little darlin'

you'll go riding on

the horses, yeah-yeah

Way up in the sky

little darlin'

oh, 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-yeah

Way up in the sky

little darlin'

and if you fall

I'll pick you up

pick you up

Yeah, yeah, yeah

and if you fall

don't you worry

'bout a thing, little girl

'cause I was young myself

not so long ago

When I was young

oh, I was a wild, wild one
