Am Em Am
Horses are creatures who worship the earth
Am Em C
They gallop on feet of ivory
F Am F
Constrained by the wonder of dying and birth
Am Em Am
The horses still run, they are free
Am Em Am
My body is merely the shell of my soul

Like an old friend that's tried and been true

I had a vision of eagles and horses

High on a ridge in a race with the wind

Going higher and higher, faster and faster

On eagles and horses I'm flying again

Eagles inhabit the heavenly heights
Am Em C
They know neither limit nor bound

They're the guardian angels of darkness and light
Am Em Am
They see all and hear every sound
Am Em Am
My spirit will never be broken or caught
Am Em C
For the soul is a free-flying thing

Like an eagle that needs neither comfort nor thought
Am Em Am
To rise up on glorious wings

I had a vision of eagles and horses

High on a ridge in a race with the wind

Going higher and higher, faster and faster
