Let Me Fly

I don't understand
This monster I've become
I don't want to be this selfish, uncaring
Acid licking at the skin

(Chorus)
I want to be an eagle
That will soar above the wind
I want to make a golden difference
In the world I'm living
By the life I'm living through

Oh, where did the young
And caring child of me go?
The one that never thought twice about herself,
But always gave her time to someone else?

(Chorus)
I want to be an eagle
That will soar above the wind
I want to make a golden difference
In the world I'm living
By the life I'm living through

And from whence this shadow came
That took possesion of my self
Which covered all my cheeriness
And drove my selfless self into an endangered state?

(Chorus)
I want to be an eagle
That will soar above the wind
I want to make a golden difference
In the world I'm living
By the life I'm living through

So next time if you see me stoning
Or with a half black - half shadowed face,
Please understand, somehow I'm not as I used to be
The me that I was happier being, the giving side of me.

Can you teach me how to be an eagle
That will soar above the wind
Can you teach me how to make a golden difference
In the world I'm living
By the life I want to live through
