Spirit Lyrics - Chris De Burgh

I was an eagle but I cannot fly, 

I was a lion, but I run no more, 

I was a river, but the river's dry, 

And soon the spirit is coming to take me home; 

I've seen the sunrise in a thousand ways, 

I've seen the wonder of a summer storm, 

I've seen a mountain that touched the sky, 

And soon the spirit is coming to take me home; 

Do not cry for me - I am with the stars, 

Do not cry for me - I am in the wind, 

Do not cry for me - I am with the rain, 

And soon the spirit is coming to take me home;

Do not cry for me - I am with the sun, 

Do not cry for me - I am in the wind, 

Do not cry for me - I am with the stars, 

And soon the spirit is coming to take me home; 

I was an eagle, but I cannot fly, 

And now the spirit has come to take me home.
