[Intro] [Excited whisper over a bouncing bass pulse] Can I keep her? Please, please, please? She likes me! [Verse 1] Found you in the garden, Hiding from the rain. One small horn, two tiny wings, A tangled silver mane. You fit inside my raincoat. I carried you back home. Made a bed beside my pillow So you’d never sleep alone. [Pre-Chorus] [Building; playful and bright] Every day, A little more— Till your wings Outgrew the door! [Chorus] I carried you, Now you carry me! Up, up, up— Over the apple trees! My little unicorn, You and me, you and me! I carried you, Now you carry me! [Build] [Rising melody; eager group vocals] Up past the rooftops, Up past the trees. Ready, my unicorn? One, two, three— [Spoken; brief silence] Wings out! [Drop] [Sparse vocal chops between enormous bass riffs] You—me! You—me! Up, up—ooh! My unicorn and me! [Instrumental Drop] [Verse 2] I save you half my apple. You steal the other half! I braid your mane; you shake it loose. You always make me laugh! We splash through every puddle, Then sail above the town. “Again, again, again!” I shout, Before we touch back down! [Pre-Chorus] [Playful call and response] One more rainbow? Yes, yes, yes! Who’s my favorite? You! No guess! [Chorus] I carried you, Now you carry me! Up, up, up— Over the apple trees! My little unicorn, You and me, you and me! I carried you, Now you carry me! [Pre-Drop] [Delighted whisper] Wings out! [Drop] [Chopped vocals; long spaces for the bass] Carry me! You and me! Up, up—ooh! My unicorn and me! [Instrumental Drop] [Bridge] [Warm, close vocal; keep the rhythmic pulse moving] Some days I’m quiet. You stay close to me. We don’t have to fly For you to carry me. [Final Build] [Layered voices climbing together] From my arms To the sky! My best friend— You and I! [Final Chorus] [Full, soaring group vocals] I carried you, Now you carry me! Up, up, up— Over the clouds and seas! My little unicorn, You and me, you and me! I carried you, Now you carry me! [Pre-Drop] [Spoken; sudden silence] Wings out! [Final Drop] [Biggest bass drop; joyful vocal fragments] You—me! You—me! Up, up—ooh! My unicorn and me! [Instrumental Drop] [Outro] [Soft, smiling vocal over the final rhythm] My little unicorn… Always you and me.
