Mariah Carey
We Belong Together / Fly Like a Bird (Live at the 48th Grammy Awards)
[Intro]
Sweet love, yeah

[Verse 1]
I didn't mean it when I said
I didn't love you so
I should have held on tight
I never should have let you go
I didn't know nothing
I was stupid, I was foolish
I was lying to myself
I couldn't have fathomed
I would ever be without your love
Never imagined I'd be sitting
Here beside myself Guess I didn't know you
Guess I didn't know me
But I thought I knew everything
I never felt

[Pre-Chorus]
The feeling that I'm feeling
Now that I don't hear your voice
Or have your touch and kiss your lips
'Cause I don't have a choicе
Oh what I wouldn't give
To have you lying by my side
Right hеre, 'cause, baby
[Chorus 1]
When you left I lost a part of me
It's still so hard to believe
Come back, baby, please 'cause
We belong together
Who else am I gonna lean on
When times get rough
Who’s gonna talk to me on the phone
Till the sun comes up
Who’s gonna take your place
There ain't nobody better
Oh, baby baby
We belong together, baby

[Chorus 2]
When you left I lost a part of me
It's still so hard to believe
Come back, baby, please 'cause
We belong together
Who am I gonna lean on
When times get rough
Who’s gonna talk to me
Till the sun comes up
Who’s gonna take your place
There ain't nobody better
Oh, baby baby
We belong together
[Interlude 1: Pastor Clarence Keaton]
Weeping may endure for a night
But joy comes in the morning
Trust Him

[Verse 2: Mariah Carey]
Somehow I know that
There's a place up above
With no more hurt and struggling
Free of all atrocities and suffering
Because I feel the unconditional love
From one who cares enough for me
To erase all my burdens
And let me be free to

[Chorus 3: Mariah Carey]
Fly like a bird
Take to the sky
I need you now Lord
Carry me high
Don't let the world break me tonight
I need the strength of you by my side
Sometimes this life can be so cold
I pray you'll come and carry me home

[Interlude 2: Pastor Clarence Keaton]
He said He'll never forsake you
Or leave you alone
Trust Him
[Bridge: Mariah Carey]
I need you Lord, I need you Lord
I need you right here by my side
Keep your head up
With God's love you'll survive

[Chorus 3: Mariah Carey]
Fly like a bird
Take to the sky
(I need you Lord oh Lord)
I need you now Lord
Carry me high
Don't let the world break me tonight
(Please don't let the world, the world, the world break me tonight, tonight, tonight)
I need the strength of you by my side
Sometimes this life can be so cold
I pray you'll come and carry me home
(I pray you'll come and take me home, hey Lord)

[Chorus 3: Mariah Carey]
Fly like a bird
(I need, I need you Lord)
Take to the sky
I need you now Lord
Carry me high
Don't let the world break me tonight
(Carry me higher Lord)
I need the strength of you by my side
('Cause I need the strength of you to survive)
Sometimes this life can be so cold
(Life can be oh so cold)
I pray you'll come and carry me home
(Oh carry me home, oh carry me home, oh)

[Outro: Mariah Carey]
Carry me higher, higher, higher
Carry me higher, higher, higher
(I need you to come and carry me higher Lord)
Carry me higher, higher, higher
Carry me higher, higher, higher
(Carry me higher Lord)
Carry me higher, higher, higher
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah)
Carry me higher, higher, higher
Carry me home
(Higher Jesus)
Carry me higher Lord
