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.
