**Fly Like An Eagle lyrics by Steve Miller:** Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin' Into the future Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin' Into the future

I want to fly like an eagle To the sea Fly like an eagle Let my spirit carry me I want to fly like an eagle Till I'm free Oh, Lord, through the revolution

Feed the babies Who don't have enough to eat Shoe the children With no shoes on their feet House the people Livin' in the street Oh, oh, there's a solution

I want to fly like an eagle To the sea Fly like an eagle Let my spirit carry me I want to fly like an eagle Till I'm free Fly through the revolution

Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin' Into the future Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin' Into the future Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin' Into the future Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin' Into the future

I want to fly like an eagle To the sea Fly like an eagle Let my spirit carry me I want to fly like an eagle Till I'm free Fly through the revolution

Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin' Into the future Time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin' Into the future

This song represents carpe diem because it talks about how time is slipping away from us and we need get a grasp on it. "Time keeps on slippin' into the future" - our present is becoming the future "feed the babies, shoe the children, house the people" - poverty in America. "oh, oh, there's a solution" - We should help these people now so the future will be better.
