[C] [Am] Horses are [Em] creatures who worship the [Am] earth, they gallop [Em] on feet of [C] ivory, [F] constrained
by the wonder of dying and birth.
[B] [Am] The horses [Em] still run, they [Am] are free.
[A] My body is merely [Em] the shell of [Am] my soul, but the flesh must [Em] be given [C] its due, [F] like a pony
that carries its rider back home, [Am] like an old friend [Em] who's tried and [Am] been true.
[G] [C]
I had a vision [G] of eagles and [F] horses, high [Dm] on a [Am] ridge in a race with the [G] wind, [F] going
higher and higher, [C] [Am] faster and faster, [F] on [Am] eagles and horses, [C] I'm [G] flying [C]
again.
[Am]
Eagles inhabit [Em] the heavenly [Am] heights, they know [Em] neither limits [C] nor bounds, [F] they're the
guardian angels of darkness and light,
[G] [Am] they see [Em] all and hear [Am] every sound.
My spirit will never [Em] be broken [Am] or caught, for the soul is [Em] a free [C]-flying thing, [F] like
an eagle that needs neither comfort nor thought, [B] [Am] to rise [Em] up on [Am] glorious wings.
