The Eagle Will Rise Again Lyrics

Artist: The Alan Parson Project
Album: Pyramid

Lead Vocal: Colin Blunstone

And I could easily fall from grace
Then another would take my place
For the chance to behold your face

As the days of my life are but grains of sand
As they fall from your open hand
At the call of the wind's command

Many words are spoken when there's nothing to say
The fall upon the ears of those who don't know the way
To read between the lines, that lead between the lines, that lead me to you

All that I ask you
Is, show me how to follow you and I'll obey
Teach me how to reach you I can't find my own way
Let me see the light, let me be the light

As the sun turns slowly around the sky
Till the shadow of night is high
The eagle will learn to fly

As the days of his life are but grains of sand
As they fall from your open hand
And vanish upon the land

Many words are spoken when there's nothing to say
The fall upon the ears of those who don't know the way
To read between the lines, that lead between the lines, that lead me to you
Show me how to follow you and I'll obey
Teach me how to reach you I can't find my own way
Let me see the light, let me be the light
And so, with no warning, no last goodbye
In the dawn of the morning sky
The eagle will rise again

I think this is the ultimate emotive Parsons track. It makes my skin tingle, and makes me want to sing.

This song is about God, or whatever higher entity you want to put here. The first time I heard this song I felt and still feel that this song came out of a hymn book. Thanks to Parsons and Woolfson for creating one of the very best songs I have ever heard.
