Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Who knows what tomorrow brings
In a world few hearts survive
All I know is the way I feel
When it's real, I keep it alive
[Verse 2]
The road is long
There are mountains in our way
But we climb a step every day
[Verse 3]
Love lift us up where we belong
Where the eagles cry, on a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong
Far from the world below, up where the clear winds blow
[Verse 4]
Some hang on to 'used to be'
Live their lives looking behind
All we have is here and now
All our lives, out there to find
[Verse 5]
The road is long
There are mountains in our way
But we climb a step every day
[Verse 6]
Love lift us up where we belong
Where the eagles cry, on a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong
Far from the world we know, where the clear wind blows
[Verse 7]
Time goes by
No time to cry
Life's you and I
Alive, today
[Verse 8]
Love lift us up where we belong
Where the eagles cry, on a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong
Far from the world we know, where the clear winds blow
[Verse 9]
Love lift us up where we belong
Where the eagles cry, on a mountain high
Written by: Buffy Sainte-Marie, Jack Nitzsche, Will Jennings
