[V]
I've lived in the gutter
No doors or shutters
No hello's, last regrets and goodbyes
I'm alone now, no friends
and I won't pretend
My salvation the stars in the sky
[V]
No man can tell me
when I see what i see
Feel in my heart, view with my eyes
That the beauty unending
beyond comprehending
was a freak of nature from times gone by
[C]
Close my eyes I'm ascending
floating, flying, bending
Look at me I'm an eagle I cry
Over forests, and peaks
but it's the stars I seek
a voice says, you'll reach them if you try
[B]
I might have nothing but I see the stars
[Instrumental]
[C]
Close my eyes I'm ascending
floating, flying, bending
Look at me I'm an eagle I cry
Over forests, and peaks
but it's the stars I seek
a voice says, you'll reach them if you try
[V]
Don't care what some say
I don't take their pay
I'll live, but perhaps when I die
I'll look down at someone
so a light can be shone
On dreamers, believers such as I
[C]
Close my eyes I'm ascending
floating, flying, bending
Look at me I'm an eagle I cry
Over forests, and peaks
but it's the stars I seek
a voice says, you'll reach them if you try
[Outro]With insight far beyond the stars
