Lyrics

Rio's Song

For how long and how high do we ride?
While we wait for the shade to reply

Up above the world again
Gone up above the world again
Who could blame you?

All we gain isn't there for us to keep
So we howl in our sleep

Up above the world again
Gone up above the world again
Who could blame you?

Rio left New Orleans
Do you know what that means?

Up above the world again
Gone up above the world again
Who could blame you?

Who could blame you?
Ooh
