Lyrics

The window is open - so why don't you fly?
 Could it be you have lost all the yearning to try?
 Your cage is a prison - they've kept you so long
 But wings are for flying - the throat's for a song
 So fly like an eagle and land like a dove
 Go find all the places you must have dreamed of
 Fly away with your troubles and drop them somewhere
 And if you're only dreaming I don't really care.
 They won't even miss you - or ask where you've been
 They'll feed you and listen for a song now and then
 Fly over the mountain and come back to me
 And tell in your song what it's like to be free
 So fly like an eagle and land like a dove
 Go find all the places you must have dreamed of
 Fly away with your troubles and drop them somewhere
 And if you're only dreaming I don't really care
 God gave us the places to labor and strive
 But if living ain't nothing but staying alive
 Then give me the dying if that's what you found
 Don't sing on my grave or drop flowers on the ground
 So fly like and eagle and land like a dove
 I'll find all the places that I have dreamed of
 Fly away with my troubles and drop them somewhere
 And if I'm only dreaming I don't really care.
