| I’ve been wild since I was young
 | 
| Takin' my freedom out on the run
 | 
| Fought the rules, fought the ropes
 | 
| When I was rolling, when I was broke
 | 
| Did my drinking, had my fun
 | 
| Nothing ever got in my way
 | 
| Did my loving as I pleased
 | 
| «This is livin',» I used to say
 | 
| I am an eagle and I’ve got to fly
 | 
| Climbin' against the wind
 | 
| I am a spirit who will never break
 | 
| Never have a heart to mend
 | 
| Oh, oh, I was raised on rock and roll
 | 
| Oh, and that music filled my soul
 | 
| Somewhere on that freedom road
 | 
| Started fighting for my own soul
 | 
| Thought of Jimmy and Janis, too
 | 
| Livin' fast til they were through
 | 
| Then my heart began to break
 | 
| Fallin' when I wanted to fly
 | 
| Someone said, «Gal, slow down
 | 
| You’re too young, too young to die»
 | 
| Even an eagle has to fall sometimes
 | 
| Climbing against the wind
 | 
| Even a strong heart has to break
 | 
| And learn to love and heal again
 | 
| All that runnin' got to me
 | 
| Could I stop and still be free?
 | 
| Could I break and still be whole?
 | 
| Would I live to rock and roll?
 | 
| Got some friends who stood by me
 | 
| Tellin' me that I would survive
 | 
| Said, «You're strong, you sing your song
 | 
| Know you’re lucky to be alive»
 | 
| Still my spirit yearns to run
 | 
| Chasing every star in the sky
 | 
| Wild and free I’ll always be
 | 
| I’ve got someone, I’ve got me
 | 
| I am an eagle and I have to fly
 | 
| Climbing against the wind
 | 
| I’ve had a heart that had to break
 | 
| To learn to heal and love again
 | 
| Even an eagle has to fall sometimes
 | 
| Climbing against the wind
 | 
| Even a strong heart has to break
 | 
| And learn to love and heal again
 | 
| Oh, oh, I was raised on rock and roll
 | 
| Oh, and that music filled my soul
 | 
| Oh, oh, I was raised on rock and roll
 | 
| Oh, and that music filled my soul
 | 
| Oh, oh, I was raised on rock and roll
 | 
| Oh, and that music filled my soul
 | 
| Oh, oh, I was raised on rock and roll
 | 
| Oh, and that music filled my soul |
