The Wings of An Eagle

THE WINGS OF AN EAGLE
 
                IF I HAD THE WINGS OF AN EAGLE
               I WOULD UP AND FLY AWAY,
              AND FLY FAR OVER THE CLOUDS
             ON A BRIGHT AND SUNNY DAY.
 
 
 
            I,D FLY ALL OVER THIS BEAUTIFUL WORLD
            LANDING FROM THERE TO THERE,
            LONG ENOUGH TO GRASP THE BEAUTY
            OF DIFFERENT COUNTRIES SO FAIR.
 
 
            I WOULD FLY SO FREE THE WIND AND ME
            FLY INTO THE BRIGHT BLUE SKY,
           AND LOOK FOR THE PLACE ANGELS LIVE
          THERE I WOULD REST AND LIE.
 
 
          THEN I WOULD GO ON MY JOURNEY
          FAR OVER THE LAND AND SEA,
         JUST LOOKING FOR MY DESTINY
         THATS WAITING THERE FOR ME.
 
 
          OH,TO HAVE WINGS LIKE AN EAGLE
         JUST TO FLY INTO THE AIR,
         AWAY FROM ALL MY BURDENS
        THAT I MUST CARRY HERE.
