Spirit

I was an eagle but I cannot fly,

I was a lion, but I run no more,

I was a river, but the river's dry,

And soon the spirit is coming to take me home;

I've seen the sunrise in a thousand ways,

I've seen the wonder of a summer storm,

I've seen a mountain that touched the sky,

And soon the spirit is coming to take me home;

Do not cry for me - I am with the stars,

Do not cry for me - I am in the wind,

Do not cry for me - I am with the rain,

And soon the spirit is coming to take me home;

I have my children, I have seen them grow,

I have a garden that is all the world,

We come with nothing, that's how we'll go,

And soon the spirit is coming to take me home;

Do not cry for me - I am with the sun,

Do not cry for me - I am in the wind,

Do not cry for me - I am with the stars,

And soon the spirit is coming to take me home;

I was an eagle, but I cannot fly,

And now the spirit has come to take me home.
