Fly Like an Eagle Lyrics by Curtiss Maldoon

Curtiss Maldoon

1971

[Verse 1]
Well, I wanted to soar like an eagle
And I wanted the mind of a dove
And I wanted to smother the evil
And just float around up above
[Verse 2]
Well, I wanted the strength of a lion
Mm, and I wanted the peace of a king
And I wanted the truth without dyin'
Without learnin' about anything
[Verse 3]
How I wanted the sky to enfold me
But I needed the earth when I fell
Yes I did, just like everyone told me
Yeah, they all advise me so well
(You know they did, yeah)
(Oh my, my, my, my, my)
[Verse 4]
Well, I know what I want as I need it
And I know what I need is all here
And with the courage to reach out and take it
I can fly for the rest of my years
(Oh, no, no, now, now)
[Outro]
(Mm-mm-mmmm-mm-mm)
(Mm-mm-mm)
(Oh, I wanted a drink)
(Oh, oh, oh, oh)
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
