Lyrics

Fly Like An Eagle

[Intro]

Doo, doo, doo-doo

Doo, doo, doo-doo

[Refrain]

Time keeps on slippin'

Into the future

Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin'

Into the future

[Chorus]

I wanna fly like an eagle

To the sea

Fly like an eagle

Let my spirit carry me

Fly like an eagle

'Til I'm free

Oh, Lord, through the revolution

[Verse]

Feed the babies

Who don't have enough to eat

Shoe the children

With no shoes on their feet

House the people

Livin' in the street

Oh, oh, there's a solution

[Chorus]

I wanna fly like an eagle

To the sea

Fly like an eagle

Let my spirit carry me

I want to fly like an eagle

'Til I'm free

Fly through the revolution

[Post-Chorus]

Doo, doo, doo-doo

Doo, doo, doo-doo

Doo, doo, doo-doo

[Refrain]

Time keeps on slippin', slippin'

Into the future

[Chorus]

I wanna fly like an eagle

To the sea

Fly like an eagle

Let my spirit carry me

I want to fly like an eagle

'Til I'm free

Fly through the revolution

[Refrain]

Time keeps on slippin'

Into the future

Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin'

Into the future

Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin'

Into the future
