Freedom Flight



	Can I touch this freedom - freedom

		in the air

	As it comes from all around me - comes 

		from everywhere

	As the Eagle flew around me - He 

		dropped a feather down

	My mind reached out and caught it - and 

		brought it to the ground

	Next thing I remember - I'm flying 

		through the night 

	Flying on wings of Eagles - wings 

		of boundless might

	As I fly I look down - and see 

		the earth below

	Flying even higher - I feel this 

		freedom grow

	As I spiral upward - riding on 

		the winds

	I pray that if this is a dream - 

		that it never ends

	My Eagle eyes see a glimmer - of 

		some shiny thing

	I swoop down - and my talons close 

		upon a silver ring

	As I fly off with my prize - into 

		the morning light 

	I feel my wings weakening - As I 

		lose my Eagle sight

	When  wake I find myself - 

		sitting on the ground 

	There being no Eagle feather - any 

		where around

	But as I open up my hand - 

		expecting not a thing

	I find sitting in my palm - a 

		shiny silver ring

	Can I touch this freedom - freedom

		in the air

	As it comes from all around me - comes 

		from everywhere
