Walter Becker
The Horses

[Verse 1]
We will fly
Way on high
Where the cool winds blow
Or in the sun
Laughing, having fun
With all the people that we know
And if the situation should keep us separated
I know the world won't fall apart
You will free the beautiful bird
Caught inside your heart

[Pre-Chorus]
Can you see her?
She flies so proud
Casts her wild wings
Over water and cloud

[Chorus]
That's the way it's gonna be, little darling
We'll go riding on the horses, yeah, yeah
Way up in the sky, little darling
If you fall I'll pick you up, pick you up
If you fall I'll pick you up, I'll pick you up

[Verse 2]
You will grow
Until you go
And I'll be right there by your side
Even then
A whisper in the wind
Will call me to you in the night
I hear all the people of the world
In my one bird's cry
I see them trying every way they know
To make their spirits fly
[Pre-Chorus]
Can you see her?
The moonlight in her eye
Coming from under my wing
You were born to fly

[Chorus]
That's the way it's gonna be, little darling
We'll go riding round the horses, yeah, yeah
Way up in the sky, little darling
If you fall I'll pick you up, I'll pick you up
If you fall I'll pick you up

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
That's the way it's gonna be, little darling
We'll go riding on the horses, yeah, yeah
Way up in the sky, little darling
And if you fall I'll pick you up, I'll pick you up
If you fall I'll pick you up

[Outro]
Pick you up darling when you fall, yeah, yeah
(Gonna be riding on the horses, baby)
(Gonna be riding on the horses, baby)
We're gonna ride
Your daddy's by your side
Everybody's gonna fly
(Gonna be riding on the horses, baby)
Gonna take a little ride
Gonna make the moonlight
Ride, ride, ride (Gonna be riding on the horses, baby)
(Gonna be riding on the horses, baby)
Little baby's gotta fly
Even daddy's gotta fly
But your mama's gonna fly
(Gonna be riding on the horses, baby)
