Lyrics
El Gavilan (The Hawk)
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You gotta make your own rules, child
You gotta break your own chains
The dreams that possess you
Can blossom and bless you
Or run you insane
The moment is yours now
To lay on the line
The past just don't matter
Tomorrow won't mind
Lay down beside me
Show me a sign
Let me feel your spirit
Running with mine
I don't deserve you
I'm just a man
But I swear I'll love you
Just as hard as I can
Storm on the mountain
Stars in the sky
Running for glory
Freedom to fly
Will you remember
Way down the road
Somebody loves you
More Than you know
