[D] I stood and watched an eagle [C] glide Spread his wings [G] and soared across [Gm] the sky
[G] So gracefully [D] he flew [G] [Em] Rising [A] [D] [Bm] effortlessly
[D] I [Em] wanted to [G] know [A] just how to [D] be free
[G]
[D] Ninety fingers curled round mine [C] [G] Perfectly formed, [Gm] newborn
The [G]
image [D] of two
[G] [Em] Infinite [D] [Bm] mystery
[D] I wanted to [G] know [A] where life [D] comes from
[A] What human intellect [F#m] can sway [Em] Must be explained the way
[F] Earth, wisdom, [C]
religions [G] of men
[A] Surge without end [F#m] to fill [Em] the spirit house within
[F] Simplicity [C] of God somehow [G] escapes [D] man

He [G] said, this [Em] is [A] [D] where life [Bm]
