<pre>Oooh, I wanna take you  
<pre>Ooh I wanna take you  
Up here where the air's clear
Up here where the air is clear
Where clouds & sunlight paint the sky
Where clouds & sunlight paint the sky
That is where I want to fly
That is where I want to fly


Oooh, let me take you  
Ooh let me take you  
Beyond everything that we know
Beyond everything that we know
Up here it's beautiful
Up here it's beautiful
Leave behind every sorrow
Leave behind every sorrow
Fly away
Fly away


Line 34: Line 36:
We're leaving the world behind
We're leaving the world behind


If you ever wanna dream,
If you ever wanna dream
Come & I'll take you with me
Come & I'll take you with me
The sky, it has no boundaries
The sky, it has no boundaries
Line 40: Line 42:


Away, far above the crystal clouds
Away, far above the crystal clouds
Soaring, tumbling through midair
Soaring tumbling through midair
We'll see the troubles melt away
We'll see the troubles melt away
We'll always want to be there
We'll always want to be there
In heaven</pre>
In heaven.</pre>
