Alan Parsons Project - Old and Wise - Lyrics

If life's little downs they keep coming around
Carry on, carry on
With darkness all about, you want to scream and shout
Carry on, carry on
Don't cry baby, look at where you've been
Please, please, please, if you're down on your knees
Everybody knows you just need a friend
Carry on, carry on
Between the time it takes to make all those mistakes
Your head is full of doubt, you can't figure it out
Carry on, carry on
Carry on, carry on
Let out all the slack, take it off your back
It don't matter what you say or do
It just seems to work out if you want it to
Carry on, carry on
Carry on, carry on
Let me bend your ear, never shed a tear
Carry on, carry on
They came flying from far away,
now I'm under their spell.
I love hearing the stories that they tell.
They've seen places beyond my land,
and they've found new horizons.
And I dream I can spread my wings...
They speak strangely but I understand.
And I dream I'm an eagle,
Over mountains and forests and seas,
Flying high, high,
I'm a bird in the sky.
I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze...
High, high,
what a feeling to fly.
I have questions and they know everything.
And to go anywhere that I please...
As all good friends we talk all night,
and we fly wing to wing.
Flying high, high,
There's no limit to what I feel,
we climb higher and higher.
Am I dreaming or is it all real?
Is it true I'm an eagle?
Is it true I can spread my wings?
I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze...
I'm a bird in the sky (I'm an eagle)
High, high,
what a feeling to fly (What a feeling)
Over mountains and forests and seas,
And to go anywhere that I please.
