I've been sleeping for some hours

Just woke up and you were there

Like the morning, like the flowers

Sunlight whispering in my ears

Red tail hawk shooting down the canyon

Put me on that wind he rides

I will be your true companion

When we reach the other side

I will try, I will stumble

But I will fly, he told me so

Proud and high or low and humble

Many miles before I go

Many miles before I go

Can't decide which way to travel

On the ground or in the sky

All my schemes have come unraveled

All that's left is you and I

And I will try, but I will stumble

And I will fly, he told me so

Proud and high or low and humble

Many miles before I go

Many miles before I go

Here I go

Ghosts on the trees, there's

Ghosts on the wires

Asking questions and showing signs

Shivering with truth, they're lighting fires

Lighting fires all down the line

And I will try, and I will stumble

But I will fly, he told me so

Proud and high or low and humble

Many miles before I go

Many miles before I go

Proud and high or low and humble

Many miles before I go

Many miles before I go
