Up Where We Belong

Performed by Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes, lyrics by Will Jennings, music by Jack Nitzsche and Buffy Saint-Marie.


Who knows what tomorrow brings
In a world few hearts survive?
All I know is the way I feel
And it's real.
I keep being alive.

*   The road is long.
There are mountains in our way.
But we climb still every day.
They'll lift us up where we belong
Where the eagles cry
On a mountain high.
They'll lift us up where we belong
Far from the world below
But where clear winds blow.

Some hang on to the east peak
With their life looking behind.
All we have is here and now
All our life out there to find.

[repeat *]

Time rolls by, no time to cry,
Lines do end up a lie... Baby

**   They'll lift us up where we belong
Where the eagles cry
On a mountain high.
They'll lift us up where we belong
Far from the world we know
Where the clear winds blow.

[repeat ** and fade]
