Chris De Burgh — Spirit

I was an eagle but I cannot fly I was a lion, but I run no more I was a river, but the river's dry And soon the spirit is coming to take me home; I've seen the sunrise in a thousand ways I've seen the wonder of a summer storm I've seen a mountain that touched the sky And soon the spirit is coming to take me home; Do not cry for me - I am with the stars Do not cry for me - I am in the wind Do not cry for me - I am with the rain And soon the spirit is coming to take me home; I have my children, I have seen them grow I have a garden that is all the world We come with nothing, that's how we'll go And soon the spirit is coming to take me home; Do not cry for me - I am with the sun Do not cry for me - I am in the wind Do not cry for me - I am with the stars And soon the spirit is coming to take me home; I was an eagle, but I cannot fly And now the spirit has come to take me home
