The Eagle

Words & Music by Christopher Kent

In the shadows of a canyon
There’s an eagle much too young to reach the sky
He dreams of the day
He’ll spread his wings and fly away
And though you’re just a tiny child
I know you’re dreaming of the person you could be
Well I believe you’ll make those dreams reality

Your heart will rise
And lead you to the skies
I know one day we’ll see that eagle fly

In the days when I was younger
I would sit and dream while twilight filled the sky
The stars would appear
Out of reach, yet very clear
Now I look out at those city lights
That beckon like the stars I used to know
And I wonder where your dreams will lead you as you grow

Your heart will rise
And lead you to the skies
I know one day we’ll see that eagle fly

So you keep dreaming my little friend
The sun is rising in a sky of blue
Up there above the clouds the eagle rides the wind
And so will you

Your heart will rise
And lead you to the skies
I know one day we’ll see that eagle fly
