You chose to live as an eagle but you're only chasing flies Impossible, is just never been done before I wasn't looking for a present I just wanted to unfold one I can't thank you enough, but all this'll pass You're an eagle chasing flies, an eagle chasing This is the right time to hold on, Or to turn your feathers in This is the right time to hold on, And change my beggar's skin Now who the beggar be, is it you or is it me? We'd rather die on our feet than live on our knees You roll the dice! You roll the dice! But then again. We'd rather live on our knees than to die on the streets You're an eagle chasing flies, an eagle chasing Is this the right time to hold on, Or to turn my feathers in? Is this the right time to hold on? And change my beggar's skin You're an eagle chasing flies An eagle chasing flies An eagle chasing flies An eagle chasing Is this the right time to hold on, Or to turn my feathers in? Is this the right time to hold on, And change my beggar's skin This is the right time To turn my feathers in
