Up Where We Belong
Jennifer Warnes Lyrics
Who knows what tomorrow brings
In a world few hearts survive
All I know is the way I feel
When it's real, I keep it alive
The road is long
There are mountains in our way
But we climb a step every day
Love lift us up where we belong
Where the eagles cry
On a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong
Far from the world below
Up where the clear winds blow
Some hang on to used to be
Live their lives looking behind
All we have is here and now
All our lives, out there to find
The road is long
There are mountains in our way
But we climb a step every day
Love lift us up where we belong
Where the eagles cry
On a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong
Far from the world we know
Where the clear winds blow
Time goes by
No time to cry
Life's you and I
Alive today
Love lift us up where we belong
Where the eagles cry
On a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong
Far from the world we know
Where the clear winds blow
Love lift us up where we belong
Where the eagles cry
On a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong

The road is long

Love lift us up where we belong
Where the eagles cry
On a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong
Far from the world below
Up where the clear winds blow
Some hang on to used to be
Live their lives looking behind
All we have is here and now
All our lives, out there to find
The road is long
There are mountains in our way
But we climb a step every day
Love lift us up where we belong

On a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong

No time to cry
Life's you and I
Alive today
Love lift us up where we belong

Love lift us up where we belong
Where the eagles cry
On a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong

I'm an 18 year old guy and I'm not scared to admit I want this song to play at my wedding someday

Do Not be one of those folks that THINK older music movies art etc. is not as good as newer. Clearly you are not. When you have children expose them to the good old and new and very old. This piece is based on blues at the very root. And good Luck Big guy.

This song was a hit sometime 1983. (Aside from having been an Oscar awarded sountrack) I just graduated high school back then. But the words of this song still rings beautiful and deep heartfelt emotion. Especially about life and love. How I do wish this was our high school graduation song.
