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 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
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 spirit 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 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
Pick you up darlin' if you fall
Don't you worry 'bout a thing, little girl
Because I was young myself not so long ago
And when I was young
When I was young
And when I was young
Oh, I was a wild wild one
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 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
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

That's the way it's gonna be, little darlin'

And when I was young
When I was young
And when I was young
Oh, I was a wild wild one
