Oh my home is in the mountains
I am free I am free
I am one with wind and eagles
I am free
Given wings to sail in gracefulness
The sky, the sky
Given voice to sing in breathlessness
I find that I can fly, fly away
Been a long time on the highway
I been a long time on the run
And it gets to be like chaos when
I'm so long away from home
And sometimes it's just too much to bear
And I hide behind my eyes
I can picture friendly faces
And I can dream of friendly skies
And I guess that I'm the lucky one
For the truth of what I know
For my heart has not denied me
And I have somewhere to go
I shall never be a prisoner
To steel and glass and stone
If I leave I will return again to my Rocky Mountain home
Oh my home is in the mountains
I am free I am free
I am one with wind and eagles
I am free
Given wings to sail in gracefulness
The sky, the sky
Given voice to sing in breathlessness
I find that I can fly, fly away
In the hands of my Father
In the light of the sunshine
On the wings of an eagle
I'm flying again
