Eagles And Horses (i'm Flying Again) Lyrics - John Denver

Horses are cratures who worship the earth 

My body is merely the shell of my soul 

Eagles inhabit the heavenly heigths 

My spirit will never be broken or caught 

My body is merely the shell of my soul 

My spirit will never be broken or caught 

As they gallop on feet of ivory 

But the flesh must be given its due 

They know neither limit nor bound 

For the soul is a free-flying thing 

But the flesh must be given its due 

For the soul is a free-flying thing

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Constrained by the wonder of dying and birth 

Like a pony that carries its rider back home 

They're the guardian angels of darkness and light 

Like an eagle that needs neither comfort nor thought 

Like a pony that carries its master back home 

Like an eagle that needs neither comfort nor thought 

The horses still run they are free 

Like an old friend that's tried and been true 

They see all and hear every sound 

To rise up on glorious wings 

Like an old friend that's tried and been true 

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 and faster and faster 

On eagles and horses I'm flying again,
