Eagle - Carole King

Eagle wants to fly again

Though she’s been shot down

You can see her tryin'

Though her wings still touch the ground

Soon she’s gonna rise up

With a pure and joyful sound

Fly, Eagle

Strong heart feels abandoned

He’s been away from what he loves the best

But his spirit isn’t broken

He feels content around the Eagle’s nest

Ah, but you can feel his patience

And you know whatever strong heart does

He never longs for what was

He lives each moment to the end

Eagle wants to fly again

Though she’s been shot down

You can see her tryin'

Though her wings still touch the ground

Soon she’s gonna rise up

With a pure and joyful sound

Fly, Eagle

Through it all she tends her young ones

Doing what she can to help them grow

Maybe they will fly away before her

And her only choice is just to let them go

Eagle sees her sister

Living free up on the mountain top

So she doubles her effort

Till you think that she is bound to drop

But Eagle has the courage

You can tell that she’s been felled before

She was born to soar

And she’s gonna soar again
