As the sun breaks
Above the ground
An old man stands on the hillAs the ground warms
To the first rays of light
A birdsong shatters the stillHis eyes are ablaze
See the madman
In his gazeFly on your way like an eagle
Fly as high as the sun
On your wings like an eagle
Fly, touch the sun, yeahNow the crowd breaks
And a young boy appears
Looks the old man in the eyeAs he spreads his wings
And shouts at the crowd
"In the name of God, my Father, I fly"His eyes seem so glazed
As he flies on
The wings of a dreamNow he knows his Father betrayed
Now his wings turn to ashes
To ashes his graveFly on your way like an eagle
Fly as high as the sun
On your wings like an eagle
Fly, touch the sunYeah, fly on your way like an eagle
Fly as high as the sun
On your way like an eagle
Fly as high as the sunOn your way like an eagle
Fly, touch the sun
On your way like an eagle, fly
Fly as high as the sun
