When I was a young man
I found an old dream
Was as battered and worn a one
As you have ever seen
But I made it some new wings
And I painted a nose
And I wished so hard
Up in the air I rose, singing
Carry me, carry me
Carry me above the world
Carry me, carry me, carry me
And I once loved a girl
She was younger than me
Her parents kept her locked up in their life
She was crying at night
She was wishing she could be free
'Course mostly I remember her laughing
Standing there watching us play
For a while there
The music would take her away
And she'd be singing
I found an old dream
Was as battered and worn a one
As you have ever seen
But I made it some new wings
And I painted a nose
And I wished so hard
Up in the air I rose, singing
Carry me, carry me
Carry me above the world
Carry me, carry me, carry me
And I once loved a girl
She was younger than me
Her parents kept her locked up in their life
She was crying at night
She was wishing she could be free
'Course mostly I remember her laughing
Standing there watching us play
For a while there
The music would take her away
And she'd be singing
