Who knows what tomorrow brings
In a world where few hearts survive
All I know is the way I feel
If it's real, I keep it alive

Chorus:
The road is long
There are mountains in our way
But we climb a step everyday

Love lift us up where we belong
Where the eagles cry
On a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong
Far from the world we know
Where the clear winds blow

Some hang on to "used to be"
Live their lives looking behind
All we have is here and now
All our lives out there to find

The road is long
There are mountains in our way
But we climb a step everyday

Love lift us up where we belong
Where the eagles cry
On a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong
Far from the world we know
Where the clear winds blow

Time goes by
No time to cry
Life's just you and I
Alive, today

Love lift us up where we belong
Where the eagles cry
On a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong
Far from the world we know
Where the clear winds blow

Love lift us up where we belong
Where the eagles cry
On a mountain high
