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 wings like an eagle   Fly, touch the sun, yeah      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 wings 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, fly   Fly as high as the sun
