(verse 1)
AmEmAm
Horses are creatures who worship the earth,
EmC
As they gallop on feet of ivory,
FAmF
Constrained by the wonder of dying and birth,
AmEmAm
The horses still run, they are free,
EmAm
My body is merely the shell of my soul,
EmC
But the flesh must be given its due,
FAm
Like a pony that carries its rider back home,
AmEmAm
Like an old friend that's tried and been true,
CG
I had a vision of eagles and horses,
FAmCG
High on a ridge in a race with the wind,
FCAm
Going higher and higher and faster and faster,
FAmC6C
On eagles and horses I'm flying again,
(verse 2)
AmEmAm
Eagles inhabit the heavenly heights,
EmC
They know neither limit nor bound,
FAmF
They're the guardian angels of darkness and light,
AmEmAm
They see all and hear every sound,
(verse 3)
AmEmAm
My spirit will never be broken or caught,
EmC
For the soul is a free flowing thing,
FAmF
Like an eagle that needs neither comfort nor thought,
AmEmAm
To rise up on glorious wings,
(chorus)
CG
I had a vision of eagles and horses,
FAmCG
High on a ridge in a race with the wind,
FCAm
Going higher and higher and faster and faster,
FAmC6C
On eagles and horses I'm flying again,
(verse 4)
My body is merely the shell of my soul,
But the flesh must be given its due,
Like a pony that carries its master back home,
Like an old that's tried and been true,
(verse 5)
My spirit will never be broken or caught,
For the soul is a free flowing thing,
Like an eagle that needs neither comfort nor thought,
To rise up on glorious wings,
(chorus)
CG
I had a vision of eagles and horses,
FAmCG
High on a ridge in a race with the wind,
FCAm
Going higher and higher and faster and faster,
FAmC6C
On eagles and horses I'm flying again,
