9 in the morning saturday came 

moms in the kitchen fixing the sink

and dad got up early to work hard outside

today was the day he would teach me to ride



i rush to the kitchen to eat up the meal

dad waltzing in with a smile that was real

he knew i was watching he knew i was there

ready to chase all the birds in the air



travling faster and racing the wind

all is alive and the sky has a grin

while it welcomes me right here

i have no limits and no need to cry

free like an eagle high in the sky 

what could stop these wings when they fly



dad takes my hand we walk out the door

hes ready to show me just how to soar

he took off the trainers and placed me ontop

held on the back as he gave me the talk

i kept on moving and once he let go

i did as he told me which is all i know

i went threw the tunnel straight to the beach

pedling down the sandy concrete



travling faster and racing the wind

all is alive and the sky has a grin

while it welcomes me right here

i have no limits and no need to cry

free like an eagle high in the sky 

what could stop these wings when they fly



i pay no attention to the road all around

a rock stops the wheel as i plunge to the ground

i cant move a muscle and the ride is deformed 

im more then just helpless in these clothes that are torn

but off in the distance a man starts to run 

it was my daddy saving his son

and the more that i cried 

the more he embraced

so i rolled onto his sholders and flying back home

we raced



travling faster and racing the wind

all is alive and the sky has a grin

while it welcomes me right here

i have no limits and no need to cry

free like an eagle high in the sky 



when they fly

when they fly
