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

Out across the evening, resting on the wing.

If I had the wings of an eagle

There'd be no holding me

I'd 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

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.



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
