From the dawn of time,
We've been telling the same old lies,
Closing our ears to the women's cries,
And our hearts to the children's sighs,

Did love ever make you sing?
Like an eagle on the wing!
Did it ever bring your heart alive?
How else can we all survive?

When will we be able to learn?
To put down that devils urn,
And all our promises to keep,
Before our hearts weep,

Did love ever make you sing?
Like an eagle on the wing!
Did it ever bring your heart alive?
How else can we all survive?

Always looking for someone else to blame,
Never wanting to hear my own name,
Then I saw the love in your eyes,
And that was when I stopped my lies,

Did love ever make you sing?
Like a an eagle on the wing!
Did it ever bring your heart alive?
How else can we all survive?

Just when I thought I was great,
That's when you sealed my fate,
Living alone and tired,
You alone are all I desire,

Did love ever make you sing?
Like a an eagle on the wing!
Did it ever bring your heart alive?
How else can we all survive?
