Fly Like An Eagle

as performed by the Steve Miller Band

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 like an eagle
Till 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

I want to fly like an eagle
To the sea
Fly like an eagle
Let my spirit carry me
I want to fly like an eagle
Till I’m free
Fly through the revolution

Time keeps on slippin’, slippin’, slippin’
Into the future
Time keeps on slippin’, slippin’, slippin’
Into the future
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 like an eagle
Till I’m free
Fly through the revolution

Time keeps on slippin’, slippin’, slippin’
Into the future
Time keeps on slippin’, slippin’, slippin’
Into the future

    Beautiful!!!!! Love the title – it’s perfect!!!

  • Rick & Deb Larson replied

    Hi Lorilee, THANKS SO MUCH!! I (Deb) usually have to come up with the titles, but I told Rick yesterday to just look at the photo and tell me what comes to mind as I was putting the camera info under the description, so all of a sudden he said ‘Fly Like An Eagle’ I couldn’t believe how perfect a choice he made…especially as it was also a song title, so I went it….and I have to agree, I also feel it is perfect. Thanks again. Take Care ~ Rick & Deb ~ :)

    Whoa looks like its ready to snare its prey !
    What does it feel like to capture such a rare bird and symbol of our country what a thrilling site to see !

  • Rick & Deb Larson replied

    THANKS SO MUCH!! It is the most awesome feeling to be amongst these fabulous creatures in the wild, we can’t seem to get enough. We can actually say that we’ve been touched by an Eagle, as while we were standing there watching and photographing them, one swooped over our heads and touched us with it’s wing, and they have landed within a couple feet of us….wouldn’t trade these experiences for anything. Thanks again and Take Care ~ Rick & Deb ~ :)
