Flight
The flights of eagles, ravens and crows
Take them over the mountains high.
Their paths take them to magical places
Where we can never go, though we try.
Oh, to fly as the Eagles do!
Oh, to forever be free!
This unreachable goal takes our hearts
And tells us who we can be.
The mountains reach unthinkable heights -
A barrier to all mankind.
The horses and bears can't reach their peaks -
Only the birds in the sky.
Oh, to fly as the Eagles do!
Oh, to forever be free!
This unreachable goal takes our hearts
And tells us who we can be.
The humans are stuck here on the ground
Forever looking to the skies.
They always desire to reach new heights,
But they only can through their cries.
Oh, to fly as the Eagles do!
Oh, to forever be free!
This unreachable goal takes our hearts,
Yet it never can be.
