Eagles' Wings

(to the tune of Runrig's "Book of Golden Stories")

Once I walked all alone
With no end in sight
Through the passes dark and dreary
Heard somebody call me
Told me not to fear
Led me on when I grew weary

With true friends always standing right behind me
I can get through whate'er tomorrow brings
Though the thorns may do their best to snare me
I will soar high on eagles' wings

Time has slowly changed me
All innocence was lost
My heart torn by pain and sorrow
But for however long
This world holds me here
Love will keep me 'til the morrow

With true friends always standing right behind me
I can get through whate'er tomorrow brings
Though my foes may raise their hands against me
I will soar high on eagles' wings

Yes, when all around my world is crumbling
And I can hardly see which way to turn
It’s their love that keeps me still believing
I will soar high on eagles' wings
And true friendship means everything
