"If Eagles Can Fly"
Written by Yves Stilmant ©2025
[Verse 1]
I sit alone beside the stream
Where silence echoes like a dream
The sky is low, the light is thin
I feel the storm still deep within
[Pre-Chorus]
But then I see above the trees
An eagle gliding through the breeze
It cuts the air, it rides the sky
And something stirs, I don't know why
[Chorus]
If eagles can fly through wind and rain
Then maybe I can rise again
If eagles can sail on wings so wide
Then so can I... yeah, so can I
If eagles survive with skies unsure
Then maybe I can still endure
I may be down, but not yet gone
I'll find my strength, I'll carry on... above the pain

[Verse 2]
I've worn the weight of silent years
And drowned in pools of hidden tears
I've seen the doors I couldn't pass
And left my hope in fields of glass
[Pre-Chorus]
But somewhere past this shadowed bend
A different road begins to mend
The wind still calls, the river sings
A voice inside begins to ring

[Chorus]
If eagles can fly through wind and rain
Then maybe I can rise again
If eagles can sail on wings so wide
Then so can I... yeah, so can I
If eagles return through fear and flame
Then I can learn to do the same
The hurt runs deep, but not for long
I'll stand again, I'll carry on...through storm and flame

[Bridge]
No light to guide me but the sky
No map to show the reasons why
But in that flight I saw the truth--
That rising starts from shattered youth

[Final Chorus]
If eagles can fly through wind and rain
Then maybe I can rise again
If eagles can glide through dark and light
Then so can I... yeah, so can I
If eagles find peace where they were torn
Then maybe I was made for more
I may be bruised, but I belong
I'm still alive... I'll carry on... beyond the fall
