Eagles & Horses |
Horses are creatures who worship the earth |
They gallop on feet of ivory |
Constrained by the wonder of dying and birth |
The horses still run they are free |
My body is merely the shell of my soul |
But the flesh must be given its due |
Like a pony that carries its rider back home |
Like an old friend that’s tried and been true |
I had a vision of eagles and horses |
High on a ridge in a race with the wind |
Going higher and higher and faster and faster |
On eagles and horses I’m flying again |
Eagles inhabit the heavenly heights |
They know neither limit nor bound |
They’re the guardian angels of darkness and light |
They see all and hear every sound |
My spirit will never be broken or caught |
For the soul is a free flying thing |
Like an eagle that needs neither comfort nor thought |
To rise up on glorious wings |
I had a vision of eagles and horses |
High on a ridge in a race with the wind |
Going higher and higher and faster and faster |
On eagles and horses I’m flying again |
Flying again, I’m flying again |
My body is merely the shell of my soul |
But the flesh must be given its due |
Like a pony that carries its master back home |
Like an old friend that’s tried and been true |
My spirit will never be broken or caught |
For the soul is a free flying thing |
Like an eagle that needs neither comfort nor thought |
To rise up on glorious wings |
I had a vision of eagles and horses |
High on a ridge in a race with the wind |
Going higher and higher and faster and faster |
On eagles and horses I’m flying again |
Flying again, I’m flying again |
Flying again, I’m flying again |
