Daryl Braithwaite – The Horses lyrics
We will fly-y-y way up high-igh-igh where the cold wind blows
Or in the sun, laughin' havin' fu-un with all the people that she knows
And if the situation should keep us separate-ed, you know the world won't fall apart
And you will free the beautiful bir-ir-ird 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 darli-in', and if you fall I'll pick you up, pick you up...

You will grow-ow and until you go-o, I'll be right there by your si-ide
And even then whisper the wi-ind and she will carry up your ride
I hear all the people of the wor-orld (people of the wor-orld) in one bird's lonely cry
See them tryin' every way they know how-ow-ow to make their spirit fly

Can't you see him, he's down on the grou-ound
He has a broken wing, looking all arou-ou-ound
That's the way it's gonna be little darlin' (be little darlin')
You'll go riding on the horses yeah yeah
Way up in the sky little darlin' (in the sky-y little darlin')
Oh, and if you fall I'll pick you up, pick you up

That's the way it's gonna be little darlin' (be little darlin')
You'll go riding on the horses yeah yeah
Way up in the sky little darlin' (in the sky-y little darlin')
And if you fall I'll pick you up, pick you u-up

That's the way it's gonna be little darlin'
You'll go riding on the horses yeah yeah
(Pick you up darlin' if you fall) Way up in the sky little darlin'
(Don't you worry 'bout a thi-ing little girl)
And if you fall I'll pick you up, I'll pick you up
(Beca)

    My son taught my two grandchildren this song and they use to sing it to me, they were 3 and 4 at the time, so cute Now they have moved 2000 ks away and it just brings tears to my eyes when I hear it being sung and funny thing I hear it all the time when I go to the shops, I don't know how many times this has happened. Beautiful memories!

    I'm not sure of the real meaning of this song but it reminds me of a very special dear friend who died of suspicious curcumstances, she had an awful childhood and this song makes me think she is in heaven doing all of the wonderful things she never got to do because god set her free are. I. P jennifer always thinking of you whenever I hear this lovely song.

    After my 17 year old son was killed in a road accident one of his mates said he and my son sang this song all the time. Every time I hear it I think of them and watching the Voice today seeing it sung it brought tears to my eyes.
