There's an eagle in the eastern sky turning in the wind Out across the evening, resting on the wing If I had the wings of an eagle There's be no holding me I'd be free, sailing free
CHORUS:
One day soon I'm gonna run like the wind One day soon Gonna break away from everything One day soon Nothing in the world's gonna pull me back And nothing's gonna keep me in Gonna run like the wind
And if you should tell me You want to hold me down Before the flow of morning I'd be gone without a sound The more you try to keep me here The less you will succeed Sailing free, sailing free
