  • On my way, on my way
    On my way, on my way

    I would like to reach out my hand
    I may see you, I may tell you to run (on my way, on my way)
    You know what they say about the young
    Well, pick me up with golden hand
    And I may see you, I may tell you to run (on my way, on my way)
    You know what they say about the young

    Well, I would like to hold my little hand
    And we will run, we will, we will crawl, we will
    I would like to hold my little hand
    And we will run, we will, we will crawl

    Send me on my way (on my way)
    Send me on my way (on my way)
    Send me on my way (on my way)
    Send me on my way (on my way)
    Send me on my way (on my way)
    Send me on my way (on my way)
    Send me on my way (on my way)
    Mm, hmm (on my way)

    I would like to reach out my hand
    I may see you, I may tell you to run (on my way, on my way)
    You know what they say about the young
    Now pick me up with golden hand
    I may see you, I may tell you to run (on my way, on my way)
    You know what they say about the young

    Well, I would like to hold my little hand
    And we will run, we will, we will crawl, we will
    I would like to hold my little hand
    And we will run, we will, we will crawl

    Send me on my way (on my way)
    Send me on my way (on my way)
    Send me on my way (on my way)
    Send me on my way (on my way)
    Send me on my way (on my way)
    Send me on my way (on my way)
    Send me on my way (on my way)
    Mm, hmm, whoo (on my way)

    Well, I would like to hold my little hand
    And we will run, we will, we will crawl, we will
    I would like to hold my little hand
    And we will run, we will, we will crawl

    Send me on my way
    Send me on my way
    Send me on my way
    On my way
    Send me on my way
    Send me on my way
    Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
    On my way
    (Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)
    On my way

    I would like to reach out my hand
    I may see you, I may tell you to run (on my way, on my way)

  • Deb :) from OntarioWhat instrument is she playing?
  • Julie from UkWe played this at my dad’s funeral (as the curtains closed)! He loved the movie Iceage.
  • Annabelle from Eugene, OrFunny how the lyrics on here say, "You know what they say about the young.". However, I clearly hear, "bobo de say bobo de yum." I also hear, "ombay sayo. Ombay tell you to run.". I wonder what Mike says about that.
  • Ellen from On My WayThis is a great song about moving on and away from hard times
  • Luther Manhole from Hard Knock StThis song is actually about the trail of tears.
  • Lol from Moving On SoonI feel like this is a good song for when you are moving on from wherever you are. You are happy to move on and forward with your life. Hopefully the place you are moving on from the people there are kindly sending you on your way and it is good memories you have, but even if not, you are ready to move on on your way to whatever the next step in life is for you.
