The Horses
We will fly way up high
Where the cool winds blow
Or in the sun laughing having fun
With all the people that we know
If the situation should keep us separated
I know the world won't fall apart
You will free the beautiful bird
Caught inside your heart
Can you see her oh she flies so proud
Cast her wild wings over water and cloud
That's the way it's gonna be little darling
You'll go riding on the horses
Way up to the sky little darling
If you fall I'll pick you up, pick you up
You will grow until you go
I'll be right there by your side
And even then a whisper the wind
And she will carry up your life
I hear all the people of the world
In my one bird's lonely cry
I see them trying every way they know how
To make their spirits fly
Can you see her moonlight in her eye
Coming from under my wing
You were born to fly
That's the way it's gonna be, little darling
You'll go riding on the horses
Way up to the sky little darling
If you fall I'll pick you up, pick you up
