Run Like the Wind Lyrics

There's an eagle in the eastern sky turning in the wind

Out across the evening resting on the wings.
If I had the wings of an eagle there'd be no holding me -
I'll be free - sailing free.
One day soon I'm gonna run like the wind
One day soon -
Gonna break away from everything
One day soon.
Nothing in the world's gonna pull me back
And nothing's gonna keep me in - gonna run like the wind

And if you should tell me you want to hold me down

Before the glow of morning I'll be gone without a sound.
The more you try to keep me in the less you will succeed

Sailing free, sailing free.
One day soon I'm gonna run like the wind
One day soon
One day soon I'm gonna run like the wind
One day soon
One day soon I'm gonna run like the wind
One day soon

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
