Fly Like an Eagle
Seal · Hits [2009]
Into the future
Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin'
Into the future
I want to fly like an eagle
To the sea
Fly like an eagle
Let my spirit carry me
I want to fly
Fly right into the future
Wanna feed the babies
Who can't get enough to eat
Wanna hoe the children
With no shoes on their feet
Wanna house the people
Livin' in the street
Oh, oh, there's a solution
I want to fly like an eagle
To the sea
Fly like an eagle
Let that spirit carry me
I want to fly
Oh ya,
Fly right into the future
Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin'
Into the future
Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin'
Into the future
Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin'
Into the future
Ah.............
Ah.............
Ah.............
Ah.............
I want to fly like an eagle
To the sea
Fly like an eagle
Let that spirit carry me
I want to fly
Fly right into the future
Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin'
Into the future
Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin'
Into the future
Fly Like an Eagle
