1. Who knows what tomorrow brings     in a world few hearts survive,

    all I know is the way I feel,        and it's real I keep my prayer alive.

    The road is long, there are mountains in our way,

    but we climb the steps everyday.

where the eagles fly on a mountain high.

far from the world below, up where the clear winds blow.

    all we have is here and now, all our lives are there to find.

    but we climb the steps everyday.

where the eagles fly on a mountain high.
