Carole King - Eagle lyrics

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
