Someday an Eagle Songtext
von John Williamson

Show me a sign Lord, show me a sign
I′m ready to move a mountain with this soul of mine
You've given me a voice Lord, you′ve given me a tune
If you've got something for me to say, won't you make it soon?

Maybe I′ve been a rock
Maybe I′ve been a tree
Maybe I've been a butterfly
But when will I be me?

I am a scorpion
I sting like a bee
Someday an eagle
Someday I′ll be free

I'm so far down the ladder
Oh Lord I know
I′ve been given everything
But I got nothing to show


But I am getting ready Lord
To climb another rung
Do I have to wait around
Till all my songs are sung?

Maybe I've been a rock
Maybe I′ve been a tree
Maybe I've been a butterfly
But when will I be me?

I am a scorpion
I sting like a bee
Someday an eagle
Someday I'll be free

Some sing in harmony
Others sing the blues
Some shoot up or shoot it out
And others take the booze

Everybody′s trying Lord
All kinds of suicide
I think I see the road Lord
But it′s no easy ride


Maybe I've been a rock
Maybe I′ve been a tree
Maybe I've been a butterfly
But when will I be me?

I am a scorpion
I sting like a bee
Someday an eagle
Someday I′ll be free

Maybe I've been a rock
Maybe I′ve been a tree
Maybe I've been a butterfly
But when will I be me?

I am a scorpion
I sting like a bee
Someday an eagle
Someday I'll be free

Someday an eagle
Someday I′ll be free
