 I am the eagle, I live in high country
 In rocky cathedrals that reach to the sky
 I am the hawk and there's blood on my feathers
 But time is still turning they soon will be dry
 And all of those who see me, all who believe in me
 Share in the freedom I feel when I fly
 Come dance with the west wind and touch on the mountain tops
 Sail o'er the canyons and up to the stars
 And reach for the heavens and hope for the future
 And all that we can be and not what we are
