Born Like an Eagle-The Stars-4^th grade

Verse I D/Bb/C

Born like an eagle/kissing the sky/I can fly so high

Independent-I glide/We all have our pride/I’m good and bad on my other side

Quick and sharp just like the tide/I can see with my snake eyes

Flying with pride/Keeping a secret and I’m only nine

Flying the sky in speeds so hard to see

I’m looking down on people/They’re looking up at me

I keep thinking I can fly/Every time I try I fall-why?

Chorus D/G/C (G)/F

Born like an eagle/Seizing the day/Born like an eagle/Not having to pay

Born like an eagle/Making freedom last/Born like an eagle letting go of the past

Verse II

When I was born/Everyone knew that I’d travel the earth and sky

I always knew what I was meant to do/To be strong independent-not relying on you

Born like an eagle with my pride/Join me for the ride

I will take my pride to my grave/I’m full of strength and lots of faith

To be strong and courageous is what opened my eyes

No man can stop me-no animal ever tries

And if you look away/You won’t know where I flew

Cause I was born strong I tell you its true

Bridge

I fly across the city divide until I reach the other side

I can only be me

Verse III

The strength inside me is big/Even though I’m a ten year old kid-who cares

I feel like an eagle who never stops/sometimes my courage drops

I have bravery deep inside/I guess I have to hang on for the ride

Standing tall above all/Trying hard not to fall

Breaking free from the flock/Hickery dickory dock

Chorus
