The Eagle and the Hawk – John Denver lyrics
🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤
I am the eagle, I live in high countryIn rocky cathedrals that reach to the skyI am the hawk and there’s blood on my feathersBut time is still turning, they soon will be dryAnd all of those who see me, all who believe in meShare in the freedom I feel when I flyCome dance with the west wind and touch on the mountain topsSail o’er the canyons and up to the starsAnd reach for the heavens and hope for the futureAnd all that we can be and not what we are
