1.   They came flying from far away, now I'm under their spell,
  d                      C                d
    I love hearing the stories that they tell.

    They've seen places beyond my land,
                              a
     and they've found new horizons.
d                         C           d
    They speak strangely but I understand.
                         A   d                              G
    And I dream I'm an eagle,  and I dream I can spread my wings.

        F     C           d           C
Flying high, high, I'm a bird in the sky,
        d          C             d
I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze.
 F     C             d         C
High, high, what a feeling to fly,
       d            C            d
over mountains and forests and seas.
        F      C            Ais     - d
And to go anywhere that I please.

2.  As all good friends we talk all night, and we fly wing to wing.
d                          C              d
    I have questions and they know everything.
                                                          a
    There's no limit to what I feel, we climb higher and higher.
 d                       C       d
    Am I dreaming or is it all real?
                       A     d                              G
    Is it true I'm an eagle?    Is it true I can spread my wings?
                               A     d
