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
