Like a child in my arms
I'll carry you away
Somehow, somewhere, we will stay
Taking our chances in the sky
With the sun down below us, we will fly

Higher, and higher, like the songbirds above
Higher and higher
Higher and higher
And like a child without love, we will cry, and we will sigh

Like the songbird that sings, like the bird without wings
And like all living things, we will die
Like a child in my arms
I'll carry you away
We’ll find our way home
And forever and a day, we will stay
Like a whisper in your ear and all you hold dear
Like a song in the wind, we will hear

Tomorrow will save us from today
And like the threads of all hope, we will fray
The ultimate fear, that burns from within
That can only be free for a day

Like a child in my arms, I will carry you
Like a child in my arms, I will carry you away
Like the songbird that sings, like the bird without wings
And like all living things, we will die
Like the songbird that sings
Like all living things we will die
Like all living things we will die
