You see me stuck on the ground
While you're master of the air.
Let our spirits ever wander
In the sky away up there.
I want to fly like an eagle,
Let your spirit carry me.
Above the clouds
Above the trees
So wild and free.
When I die, don't bury me.
I don't want to be where roots of green things grow.
Why not instead, set me free
To roam as my ashes on the breeze.
I want to fly like an eagle,
Let your spirit carry me.
Above the clouds
Above the trees
So wild and free.
Spread your wings, and soar up high.
Oh I want to see the view from in the sky!
Yes oh lift me off the ground,
I wish to see Earth's colors and be found.
I want to fly like an eagle,
Let your spirit carry me.
Above the clouds
Above the trees
So wild and free.
Let me fly like an eagle,
Soar above the earth,
Shrieking my defiance at my birth,
Let me look upon places touched by man,
And places that shall never know his hand.
Let me fly above the earth,
Oh let me be!
Let me fly away from here,
Set me free!
I want to fly like an eagle,
Let your spirit carry me.
Above the clouds
Above the trees
So wild and free.
