Eagles And Horses Lyrics

	Lyrics：John Denver/Joe Henry Music：John Denver/Joe Henry
	Horses are creatures who worship the earth
	As they gallop on feet of ivory
	Constrained by the wonder of dying and birth
	The horses still run, they are free
	My body is merely the shell of my soul
	But the flesh must be given its due
	Like a pony that carries its rider back home
	Like an old friend that's tried and been true
	Chorus:
	I had a vision of eagles and horses
	High on a ridge in a race with the wind
	Going higher and higher and faster and faster
	On eagles and horses I'm flying again
	Eagles inhabit the heavenly heights
	They know neither limit nor bound
	They're the guardian angels of darkness and light
	They see all and hear every sound
	My spirit will never be broken or caught
	For the soul is a free-flying thing
	Like an eagle that needs neither comfort nor thought
	To rise up on glorious wings
	(Chorus)
	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 friend that's tried and been true
	My spirit will never be broken or caught
	For the soul is a free-flying thing
	Like an eagle that need neither comfort nor thought
	To rise up on glorious wings
	(Chorus)
