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

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
