[Intro]
Ooh yeah, think I better get up
Doo, doo, du-du (Yeah)
Doo, doo, du-du (Love, love, love)
Doo, doo, du-du (Don't it baby?)
Doo, doo, du-du
[Verse 1]
Time keeps on slippin'
Into the future
Said, time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin'
Into the future
[Chorus]
I wanna to fly like an eagle, to the sea
Fly like an eagle, let my spirit carry me
I wanna to fly
Fly right into the future
[Verse 2]
I wanna feed the babies, who can't get enough to eat
Wanna shoe the children, with no shoes on their feet
I wanna house the people, livin' in the street
Oh yeah, there's a solution
[Chorus]
Let me fly like an eagle, to the sea
Fly like an eagle, let that spirit carry me
I wanna fly, oh, yeah
Fly right into the future
[Verse 3]
Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin'
Into the future
Time flies, don't it baby?
Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin'
Into the future, oh
Time flies, don't it baby?
[Bridge]
Ooh, keep on flying, keep on flying, oh
Oh, yeah, yeah
Think I better get up
Don't it baby?
(Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)
[Chorus]
I wanna fly like an eagle, to the sea (Ooh-oh)
Fly like an eagle, let my spirit carry me
I wanna fly (Isn't it, baby?)
Fly right into the future (To the rhythm, baby)
Fly like an eagle, wanna fly (Lemme fly like an eagle, to the sea)
Fly like an eagle, let that spirit carry me (Ooh, yeah)
I wanna fly like an eagle, wanna fly
Fly right into the future (Fly-y-y-y)
[Outro]
In a sky full of people, only some want to fly (Lemme fly like an eagle, to the sea)
Isn't that crazy? Oh-oh, oh-oh (Fly like an eagle, let that spirit carry me)
Fly like an eagle, wanna fly
Fly like an eagle, wanna fly
Fly like an eagle, wanna fly
Fly like an eagle, wanna fly
