I am the eagle,
I live in high country
In rocky cathedrals that reach to the sky
I am the
hawk and theres 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 oer 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

Words and music by John Denver and Mike Taylor
