[Verse 1]
Time keeps on slippin'
Into the future
Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin'
Into the future
[Chorus]
I want to fly like an eagle
To the sea
Fly like an eagle
Let my spirit carry me
I want to fly
Fly right into the future
[Verse 2]
I wanna feed the babies
Who can't get enough to eat
Wanna shoe the children
With no shoes on their feet
I wanna house the people
Livin' in the street
Oh, yeah, there's a solution
[Chorus]
Let me fly like an eagle
To the sea
Fly like an eagle
Let that spirit carry me
I want to fly, oh, yeah
Fly right into the future
[Verse 3]
Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin'
Into the future
Time flies, don't it
Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin'
Into the future, oh
Time flies, don't it, baby
[Bridge]
Ooh, keep on flying, keep on flying, oh
Oh, yeah, yeah
Don't it, baby
Hey
[Chorus]
I want to fly like an eagle
To the sea
Fly like an eagle
Let my spirit carry me
I want to fly
Fly right into the future
(To the rhythm, baby)
[Chorus]
I want to fly like an eagle (Fly like an eagle wanna fly)
To the sea
Fly like an eagle
Let that spirit carry me
I want to fly (Fly like an eagle wanna fly)
Fly right into the future
[Outro]
In a sky full of people, only some want to fly
Isn't that crazy? Oh-oh, oh-oh
Fly like an eagle, wanna fly
Fly like an eagle, wanna fly
Fly like an eagle, wanna fly
Fly like an eagle, wanna fly
[Verse 1]
Time keeps on slippin'
Into the future
Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin'
Into the future
[Chorus]
I want to fly like an eagle
To the sea
Fly like an eagle
Let my spirit carry me
I want to fly
Fly right into the future
[Verse 2]
I wanna feed the babies
Who can't get enough to eat
Wanna shoe the children
With no shoes on their feet
I wanna house the people
Livin' in the street
Oh, yeah, there's a solution
[Chorus]
Let me fly like an eagle
To the sea
Fly like an eagle
Let that spirit carry me
I want to fly, oh, yeah
Fly right into the future
[Verse 3]
Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin'
Into the future
Time flies, don't it
Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin'
Into the future, oh
Time flies, don't it, baby
[Bridge]
Ooh, keep on flying, keep on flying, oh
Oh, yeah, yeah
Don't it, baby
Hey
[Chorus]
I want to fly like an eagle
To the sea
Fly like an eagle
Let my spirit carry me
I want to fly
Fly right into the future
(To the rhythm, baby)
[Chorus]
I want to fly like an eagle (Fly like an eagle wanna fly)
To the sea
Fly like an eagle
Let that spirit carry me
I want to fly (Fly like an eagle wanna fly)
Fly right into the future
[Outro]
In a sky full of people, only some want to fly
Isn't that crazy? Oh-oh, oh-oh
Fly like an eagle, wanna fly
Fly like an eagle, wanna fly
Fly like an eagle, wanna fly
Fly like an eagle, wanna fly
