Thread Name: Lyr Req: Fly Eddie Fly (Eddie "the Eagle" Edwards)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Fly Eddie Fly
Looking for the one by "The Arrogant Worms," but couldn't find it.
Here is one by the "Watchers."

Eddie

1
He was different from the rest; wasn't sleek, wasn't sure,
But deep inside his spirit longed to fly
He lined up to be counted. He waited with the best
And when his turn came round he had a try.

Chorus:
Fly like an eagle. Show us what it means
To follow your dreams no matter how high
Take us with you as you go. Don't let your fear show.
And fly like an eagle, Eddie, fly.

2
As he raced to needless death, the crowd all held its breath
And when he took the jump into the sky
No longer tied to earthly things this hero soared on shining wings.
And the crowd all shouted, "Fly, Eddie, Fly."

3
Well we know he wouldn't win but we really didn't care,
He was the man we all wanted to see
We watched him leap up high and we wanted him to fly,
For we knew, if he could do it, so could we.

Eddie
