I know
Where The Eagles Soar
I once knew where the eagles would soar
On outstretched wings over rocky shores
When I was young they came here then
To hunt the salmon and ride the wind
Echoing cries would fill my soul
As I watched from far below
They would rise to the heavens
On the strength of the breeze
With the dreams of my people
On the tips of their wings
I once knew where the eagles would soar
In a time long past but they come no
more
The sky now longs for their outstretched
wings
I hear their cries only in my dreams
The valley has shed a river of tears
Man quickly destroyed what took ages to
build
Never take more than you give and give
back what you take
When all is lost it is then too late
The eagle was here for my father
And his father before
And I once knew where the eagle would
soar
There was a time I believed the eagle
would never come again
To hunt the salmon or ride the wind
But a day came when I lifted my head
A cry from the sky had stirred me again
As they set the eagle free wings catch
the breeze
They rise to the clouds to make the
heavens complete
Black feathers ruffle from the force of
the wind
It’s here they began and here they’ll
begin
Now rise to the heavens with a wish on
your wings
To be here forever to carry our dreams
