If you're in a bind,with a troubled mind
I'm a mountain,come on and climb
Because you look so good,to be so down
It won't take much girl,to turn it all around

Come with me,come with me
The feeling's free,just come with me
Will get on a cloud girl,and ride it high
Say hello sun,as we sail bye

I'll take you where,you've never been before
Once we're there,you'll cry for more
If it's dark in your world,come walk in mine
My love's a light babe,it's on all the time

Come with me,come with me
The feeling's free,just come with me
Will get on a cloud girl,and ride it high
Say hello sun,as we sail bye

Come with me,come with me
The feeling's free,just come with me
Will get on a cloud girl,and ride it high
Say hello sun,as we sail bye
