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'd be no holding me I'd be free Sailing free. 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 glow of morning, I'll be gone without a sound. The more you try to keep me in The less you will succeed Sailing free, Sailing free. 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. 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.
