a blade in her hand and a tear on her cheek
she hopes these cuts will make her feel free
her dad's been gone since she was three
and mom's only home to catch up on sleep


but she wasn't meant for this
not for this brokenness
she's meant for eagles' wings
she's meant for love


take hold of hope and soar on eagles' wings
there's reason for your dreams
you're worth more than you think
so take hold of hope and soar on eagles' wings
soon everything will fall
but you will rise in strength
on eagles' wings


a mother of one who works all day long
supporting herself 'cause the father's gone
her daughter's home, eating alone
as she works late to pay off the loans


but she wasn't meant for this
not for this brokenness
she's meant for eagles' wings
she's meant for love


take hold of hope and soar on eagles' wings
there's reason for your dreams
you're worth more than you think
so take hold of hope and soar on eagles' wings
soon everything will fall
but you will rise in strength
on eagles' wings


take hold of hope and soar on eagles' wings
there's reason for your dreams
you're worth more than you think
so take hold of hope and soar on eagles' wings
soon everything will fall
but you will rise in strength
on eagles' wings
