Lyrics

Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin'
Into the future
Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin'
Into the future
I want to fly like an eagle
To the sea
Fly like an eagle
Let my spirit carry me
I want to fly
'Til I'm free
Oh, Lord through the revolution
Feed the babies
Who don't have enough to eat
Shoe the children
With no shoes on their feet
House the people
Livin' in the street
Oh, oh there's a solution
Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin'
Into the future
I want to fly like an eagle
To the sea
Fly like an eagle
Let my spirit carry me
I want to fly
'Til I'm free
Oh lord through the revolution
Fly like an eagle to the sea
Fly like an eagle
Let my spirit carry me
I want to fly high
'Til I'm free
Oh Lord, through the revolution
I want to fly
'Til I'm free
Fly
like an eagle
