Do you hear the children cry
Do you see the people die
The eagle spreads his wings and flies to distant shores
He tries to leave this world of hunger, pain and war
Fly, oh so high he flies, not knowing where it ends
Racing through infinity, towards an unknown land

Fly high, try to reach the Sun and you will die soon
The heat will burn your wings
And you'll fall down into reality
Where it's so cold
No chance to escape from this world

Do you hear the children cry
Do you see the people die
Do you believe that when you dream you can be free
That when you fly you needn’t face the misery
Just like the eagle you may try to reach the Sun
But when you fly don't think that all is said and done

Fly high, try to reach the Sun and you will die soon
The heat will burn your wings
And you'll fall down into reality
Where it's so cold
No chance to escape from this world
