Lyrics

[Verse 1] 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 and the throat for a song [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] 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 [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] For I'll 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 And if I'm only dreaming, I don't really care
