I am the eagle, I live in high country 

In rocky cathedrals that reach to the sky 

I am the hawk and 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 and touch on the mountain tops 

Sail o'er 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
