Once there was a way
Once there was a time
When everything was in its place
And simply fine
When no one bothered counting
All the tears one cried in vain
For in the morning
More than likely
One would shine again
Take me high, love
Take me high
Take me back to where I've been
Take me high, love
Let me fly, love
In the skyways I once knew
Take me back to the days
When I was truly never alone
Take me high, love
Take me home
Once there was a hill
Once there was a tree
Once there was a bird
Who spread its wings and flew
To places we imagine
So much brighter than our own
Yet when the summer sun returned
Our feathered friends came home
Take me high love
Take me high
Take me back to where I've been
Take me high love
Let me fly, love
In the skyways I once knew
Take me back to the days
When I was truly never alone
Take me high, love
Take me home
Take me high love
Take me high
Take me back to where I've been
Take me high love
Let me fly, love
In the skyways I once knew, yeah
Take me back to the days
When I was truly never alone
Take me high, love
Take me home
Take me high, love
Take me home
Take me high, love
Take me home
Once there was a time
When everything was in its place
And simply fine
When no one bothered counting
All the tears one cried in vain
For in the morning
More than likely
One would shine again
Take me high, love
Take me high
Take me back to where I've been
Take me high, love
Let me fly, love
In the skyways I once knew
Take me back to the days
When I was truly never alone
Take me high, love
Take me home
Once there was a hill
Once there was a tree
Once there was a bird
Who spread its wings and flew
To places we imagine
So much brighter than our own
Yet when the summer sun returned
Our feathered friends came home
Take me high love
Take me high
Take me back to where I've been
Take me high love
Let me fly, love
In the skyways I once knew
Take me back to the days
When I was truly never alone
Take me high, love
Take me home
Take me high love
Take me high
Take me back to where I've been
Take me high love
Let me fly, love
In the skyways I once knew, yeah
Take me back to the days
When I was truly never alone
Take me high, love
Take me home
Take me high, love
Take me home
Take me high, love
Take me home
