Horses are creatures who worship the Earth
Galloping on feet of ivory
Con strained by the wonder of dying and birth
The horses still run, they are free
My body is merely the shell of my soul
But the flesh must be given it?s due
Like a pony that carries it?s rider back home
Like an old friend who?s tried and been true
I had a vision of Eagles and Horses
High on a ridge in a race with the wind
Going higher and higher, faster and faster
On Eagles and Horses, I?m flying again
2nd time Flying again, I?m flying again
3rd time Flying again, I?m flying again
Flying again, I?m flying again
Eagles inhabit the heavenly heights
They know neither limits or bounds
They?re the guardian angels of darkness and light
They see all and hear every sound
My spirit will never be broken or caught
For the souls a free flying thing
Like an Eagle that needs neither comfort nor pause
To rise up on glorious wing
My body is merely the shell of my soul
But the flesh must be given it?s due
Like a pony that carries it?s master back home
Like an old friend who?s tried and been true
My spirit will never be broken or caught
For the souls a free flying thing
Like an Eagle that needs neither comfort nor pause
To rise up on glorious wing
