Tonight's the night when all the tumblers clicked! Remembering the practices, it all went by too quick
 There's a guy on the second row and he's playing air guitar
 It seems for once the people really know who we are! Oh, let the eagle fly! 
 Cut the leash and watch him soar on high Somebody's singing now, I hear all the words Flooding back through all the years when it was hard learned
 Standing in line, just to get to see the band
 Promises of one day, lending a hand Oh, let the eagle fly!
 Cut the leash and watch him soar on high
 Catch a sailing wind and set him free

Starting on the journey, just Icarus and me And it seems like yesterday
 Where has all the time gone?
 Losing precious moments…
 So long…so long... It's no use just sitting round waiting for the phone to ring
 I spent so many days alone with the room crushing in
 Studying my heroes, on a single line dansette
 Bashing out the twelve bar blues with any players I could get Oh, let the eagle fly!
 Cut the leash and watch him soar on high
 Catch a sailing wind and set him free
 Starting on the journey, just Icarus and me
