	Story Behind the Song An environmental ballad, reminding society to honor and leave nature to its own ways. Lyrics Lift your heart to the mountain top . . . soar through the sky! Can you see harmony and poetry? Are we something in disguise? Can we prove that we are wise? Are all creatures as free as you and me? Let the eagles fly, Where the mountains lie. Hear the young ones cry. Can we truthfully reply? When they touch . . . the sky. Yes there's power up above and it comes down with love, it's a miracle of birth and truth and life, But there's something happening here, and it's painfully clear, an illusion of power and greed and strife. Let the eagles fly, Where the mountains lie. Hear the young ones cry. Can we truthfully reply? When they touch . . . the sky. If it's wild and spectacular we put it in a cage, it's a pity we haven't come of age. We display them in such shame when they don't want to be tamed, then we park them on an illustrated page. Let the eagles fly, Where the mountains lie. Hear the young ones cry. Can we truthfully reply? When they touch . . . the sky. © 1984 John Spearn
