I am the eagle, i live in high country
In rocky cathedrals that reach to the sky
I am the hawk & 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 & touch on the mountain tops
Sail o'er the canyons & up to the stars
And reach for the heavens & hope for the future
And all that we can be & not what we are
Words & music by john denver & mike taylor
