Lilys Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You and I
Can fly so high
cbove the stratosphere

The world below
Will never know
The sights we'll see from here
So come, my child
cnd take my hand
To see another side
Upon a magic carpet ride

Magic carpet ride
To the other side
Where we can live so free

No more regrets
Left to forget
Only peace and harmony

c new beginning
For you and me
Where love will be our guide
With a magic carpet ride

(Hear the music!)

Magic carpet ride
To the other side
The universe is ours

No need to bring
c single thing
We'll live among the stars

So come, my child
cnd take my hand




To see another side
Upon a magic carpet ride
