D
I am the eagle, I live in high country
C
In rocky cathedrals that reach to the sky
D
I am the hawk and there's blood on my feathers
C
But time is still turning they soon will be dry
D
And all those who see me and all who believe in me
F E A
Share in the freedom I feel when I fly
D D/C bass A
Come dance with the west wind and touch on the mountain tops
Dmaj7 Bm G A
Sail o'er the canyons and up to the stars
D D/C bass G/B bass D
And reach for the heavens and hope for the future
D/C bass G/B bass Em7 A
And all that we "can" be, not what we are
B(add E) A G6 Fmaj7-5 E
