Up Where We Belong Lyrics
In a world, few hearts survive
All I know is the way I feel
When it's real, I keep it alive
But we climb a step every day
Where the eagles cry on a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong
Far from the world we know, up where the clear winds blow
Live their lives, looking behind
All we have is here and now
All our life, out there to find
But we climb them a step every day
Where the eagles cry on a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong
Far from the world we know, up where the clear winds blow
No time to cry
Life's you and I
Alive, today
Where the eagles cry on a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong
Far from the world we know, up where the clear winds blow
This is might easily be interpreted as a romantic love song, like many songs that were interpreted as romantic love songs at the first glance but really arent about that kind of love... This one is about the love, peace, acceptance & connectedness between all humankind.
Life is tough & full of hardships but what will make it better is when there is love we feel for one another & this love will lift us up where we belong, it will transcend all, cure all, it will make miracles... this love will lift us up from the difficult world in which we know... that world of wars, conflict, hate, judgment, prejudice, discrimination, resistance... ll this will be left behind or down under when we love & accpt one another.
Let's not hang on to the past & the look behind us, what happened is over & there is nothing we can do to change it... let's forgive ourselves for hurting others & forgive others for hurting us because time runs out & it'd be a waste to cry over the past... ALL THAT MATTERS IS LIVING IN THE PRESENT MOMENT, IN THE NOW, because that's all we've got & we have a lot to look forward to...
This is so ...how do u say...mystical could be a good word So the love of my life , who i had the priveledge of spending 10 yrs with (thank u heaven above) keeps in touch and sent me this song recently saying he heard it in a coffee shop and thought of me because it was a beautiful day I have been seperated from him now for 14 yrs ( story as long as the years) so when we connect via phone email or song I come to this site to make a comment on how the song binds us ..... when I got on here to make a heartfelt comment before I got a chance to say how lovely the lyrics are and cocker singing and the movie and all etc..... I see that other commentary have names signed by , well lets just say they have some reference to some of our times together Anyway love ya babe and stay up where the clear winds blow , eagles fly and hopefully as above , so below
[Edit: love conquers all]
this is a good song
lol, one of my friends always sings this...i dunno why tho
from a great movie, this is one of the best love songs of all time.
From the movie An Officer and a Gentleman. Joe Cocker is wonderful. Did I say WONDERFUL:) The lyrics have already been well-explained. As for the movie, it's silly fantasy. It doesn't happen that way in real life. We make the most of what hand we are dealt and continue moving forward for that's all anybody can do. We mourn loss and then we try to heal, and not carry the baggage with us into future relationships. And hopefully we learn something valueable...what we did correct; wrong; etc so we don't repeat our mistakes. We will always miss what we thought could have been, but we feel a little comfort knowing that we loved and just maybe we were loved in return, at least we hope we were. Happy Weekend, Everyone. Go out and have a good time with someone who makes your heart skip a beat because life is too short for anyone to be alone and unhappy.
