On The Wings Of An Eagle

John Denver · Forever John [1998]

Oh my home is in the mountains

I am free I am free

I am one with wind and eagles

I am free

Given wings to sail in gracefulness

The sky, the sky

Given voice to sing in breathlessness

I find that I can fly, fly away

Been a long time on the highway

I been a long time on the run

And it gets to be like chaos when

I'm so long away from home

And sometimes it's just too much to bear

And I hide behind my eyes

I can picture friendly faces

And I can dream of friendly skies

And I guess that I'm the lucky one

For the truth of what I know

For my heart has not denied me

And I have somewhere to go

I shall never be a prisoner

To steel and glass and stone

If I leave I will return again to my Rocky Mountain home

Oh my home is in the mountains

I am free I am free

I am one with wind and eagles

I am free

Given wings to sail in gracefulness

The sky, the sky

Given voice to sing in breathlessness

I find that I can fly, fly away

In the hands of my Father

In the light of the sunshine

On the wings of an eagle

I'm flying again
