The warming sun, the cooling rain The snowflake drifting on the breath of the breeze The lightning bolt that frees the sky for you Yet only eagles seem to pass on through The words of love, the cries of hate And the man in the moon who seduced you Then finally loosed you
You climbed upon a burning rope to escape the mob below But you had put the flaming out so that others could now follow To be out of the bounds and the barks of those who do not wish you well
You must blaze a trail of your own, unknown, alone But keep in mind Don’t live to-day for tomorrow like you were immortal The only survivors on this world of ours are
The warming sun, the cooling rain The snowflake drifting on the breath of the breeze The lightning bolt that frees the sky for you Yet only eagles seem to pass on through The words of love, the cries of hate And the man in the moon who seduced you Then finally loosed you

The warming sun, the cooling rain The snowflake drifting on the breath of the breeze The lightning bolt that frees the sky for you Yet only eagles seem to pass on through The words of love, the cries of hate And the man in the moon
