The Eagle And The Hawk
Composer(s): Mike Taylor - John Denver
First release by: John Denver - 1971
Covered by multiple other artists



I am the eagle, I live in high country
In rocky cathedrals that reach to the sky

I am the hawk and there's blood on my feathers
But time is still turning they soon will be dry
And all those who see me and all who believe in me
Share in the freedom I feel when I fly

Come dance with the west wind and touch on the mountain tops
Sail over the canyons and up to the stars
And reach for the heavens and hope for the future
And all that we "can" be, not what we are
