As the sun breaks
above the ground
an old man stands on the hill
As the ground warms
to the first rays of light
a birdsong shatters the still
His eyes
are ablaze
See the madman in his gaze
Fly
on your way
like an eagle
Fly as high
as the sun
On your way
like an eagle
Fly
Touch the sun
Yeah
Mmmh
Now the crowd breaks
and a young boy appears
Looks the old man in the eye
As he spreads his wings
and shouts at the crowd
In the name of God
my father I fly
His eyes
seem so glazed
As he flies
on the wings of a dream
Now he knows
his father betrayed
Now his wings turn to ashes
to ashes his grave
Fly
on your way
like an eagle
Fly as high
as the sun
On your way
like an eagle
Fly
Touch the sun
Yeah
Fly
on your way
like an eagle
Fly as high
as the sun
On your way
like an eagle
Fly as high
as the sun
On your way
like an eagle
Fly
Touch the sun
On your way
like an eagle
Flyyyyyy
Fly as high as the sun
Aaaaahhh
