(D)I am the ea gle.

I live in high coun try in rock y ca the drals that reach to the (C)sky.

(D)I am the hawk and there’s blood on my feath ers, but time is still turn ing; they soon will be (C)dry.

And (D)all those who see me and all who be lieve in me share in the free dom I feel when I (F)fly.

(A7)Come (D)dance with the (D)west wind and (C)touch on the (A)moun tain tops, (Dmaj7)sail o’er the (Bm)can yons and (A)up to the stars, and (D)reach for the (D)heav ens and (G)hope for the (D)fu ture and (D)all that we (G)can be and (Em)not what we (A)are.
