Why the eagle flies
When the wind blows in his eyes
And he goes no where just to feel good 
 
You don't know the reason
Our love is like a season
Breaking down and building up again
 
Why you hold me up
When I feel like falling down
Is the love you have that makes me feel good
 
Ah
You make it easy
Take it slow
Well, I was hurtin inside and you gave me a second chance
 
Ah
You take it easy
When you let it go
I was hurtin inside
 
Time rides all alone
When you're left back on your own
But I know you're always there to lean on
 
Look beyond the 
And you'll find my love in check
It's all the love I have
Love I give to you
 
Ah
You make it easy
Take it slow
Well, I was hurtin inside and you gave me a second chance
 
Ah
You take it easy
When you let it go
I was hurtin inside
 
Why the eagle flies
When the wind blows in his eyes
And he goes no where just to feel good 
 
Time rides all alone
When you're left back on your own
But I know you're always there to lean on
 
You don't know the reasons
Our love is like the seasons
Breaking down and building up again
 
Ah
You make it easy
Take it slow
Well, I was hurtin inside and you gave me a second chance
 
Ah
You take it easy
When you let it go
I was hurtin inside
 
Ah
You make it easy
Take it slow
Well, I was hurtin inside and you gave me a second chance
 
Ah
You take it easy
When you let it go
I was hurtin inside
