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
