Golden friend, you take me flying in your memory.
Eagle friend, you teach me how to fly free.
Wounded friend, I know how it must feel trapped in your cage of steel
I want to help you heal.
Take my song and rise with it above the pain.
Take my tears and join them to the rain.
Take my love and soar above the clouds, unbroken and unbowed.
So gentle and so proud.
‘Cause each one has a role to play on the turning wheel
And the one that we set free today will help the earth to heal.
Golden friend, you take me flying in your memory.
Eagle friend, you teach me how to fly free.
Eagle friend, I swear the pain will end, like shadows on the wind,
And you will fly again.
