There's an eagle in the eastern sky turning in the wind

Out across the evening resting on the wings.
If I had the wings of an eagle there'd be no holding me -
I'll be free - sailing free.
One day soon I'm gonna run like the wind
One day soon -
Gonna break away from everything
One day soon.
Nothing in the world's gonna pull me back
And nothing's gonna keep me in - gonna run like the wind

And if you should tell me you want to hold me down

Before the glow of morning I'll be gone without a sound.
The more you try to keep me in the less you will succeed

Sailing free - sailing free.
One day soon I'm gonna run like the wind
One day soon -
One day soon I'm gonna run like the wind
One day soon -
One day soon I'm gonna run like the wind
One day soon
