I was an eagle but I cannot fly,
|
I was a lion, but I run no more,
|
I was a river, but the river's dry,
|
And soon the spirit is coming to take me home;
|
|
I've seen the sunrise in a thousand ways,
|
I've seen the wonder of a summer storm,
|
I've seen a mountain that touched the sky,
|
And soon the spirit is coming to take me home;
|
|
Do not cry for me - I am with the stars,
|
Do not cry for me - I am in the wind,
|
Do not cry for me - I am with the rain,
|
And soon the spirit is coming to take me home;
|
|
I have my children, I have seen them grow,
|
I have a garden that is all the world,
|
We come with nothing, that's how we'll go,
|
And soon the spirit is coming to take me home;
|
|
Do not cry for me - I am with the sun,
|
Do not cry for me - I am in the wind,
|
Do not cry for me - I am with the stars,
|
And soon the spirit is coming to take me home;
|
|
I was an eagle, but I cannot fly,
|
And now the spirit has come to take me home.
