He was born in the summer of his 27th year  
G              C            G                  D  
Coming home to a place he'd never been before  
G            C                G               D  
He had a hunger in his eyes, and a heart full of dreams  
G                  C           G             D  
He was searching for the answers to the questions in his mind  

G             C           G           D  
And the eagle and the hawk are flying high  
G             C              G                  D  
And he knows that he will never die  
G                C            G               D  
For the spirit of the eagle will always soar  
G                  C              G                D  
And he knows that he will never die
