ABBA - Eagle

This was the opening track of their 1977 album "ABBA - The Album". It was also released as a single in May 1978.

Lyrics:

They came flyin' from faraway
now I'm under their spell
I love hearing the stories that they tell
they've seen places beyond my land
and they've found new horizons
they speak strangely but I understand
and I dream I'm an eagle
and I dream I can spread my wings

Flyin' high, high
I'm a bird in the sky
I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze
high, high
what a feeling to fly
over mountains and forests and seas
and to go anywhere that I please

As all good friends we talk all night
and we fly wing to wing
I have questions and they know everything
there's no limit to what I feel
we climb higher and higher
am I dreamin' or is it all real
is it true I'm an eagle
is it true I can spread my wings

Flyin' high, high
I'm a bird in the sky
I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze
high, high
what a feeling to fly
over mountains and forests and seas
and to go anywhere that I please

@rgnieto I spent my teenage years in the late 60's early 70'sin a horrible town in the north of England where bullying seemed an obligatory way of life. I hope you overcame this hurdle in your life as I thankfully did, and witness many of the alleged 'hard' men and women reduced to prison complexion/drug abused losers as is their deserved fate,

When i was attending RYLA 2005, i was told to sing a song, and with out any reluctance i selected this song ,but somewhere in middle i had lost the lyrics. I felt embarrassed and took seat in the last row to avoid my friends. But next day, before starting that day section "ABBA-EAGLE" was presented with lyrics ,and he called my name and said. " Look, yesterday you had forgotten the lyrics, and that inspired me to bring this for RYLA 2005, which will exalt rylarians 2 dream like this eagle"

In 1978, my first real girlfriend broke up with me..I didn't sleep all night, and everyhour this song was played..So this song has become a memory on its own..

In 1977 , when this was released , I was getting bullied at school. I used to go home , lock my room door and play this over & over again.....it took me away for a wee while.

[rgnieto]

The best ABBA song.
