D                 G             Gm
Who knows what tomorrow brings
D                          G   Gm
In a world, few hearts survive
D                  G        Gm
All I know is the way I feel
           D               G
When it's real I keep it alive

    Em       A7
The road is long
           D        D/F#
There are mountains
        G   G/B
in our way
         C                 A7 G A7
But we climb a step every day

Chorus:
D            D/F#           G   D/F#
Love lift us up where we belong
           Em     D/F#
Where the eagles cry
      C        G  A7
On a mountain high
D            D/F#           G  D/F#
Love lift us up where we belong
              Em      D/F#
Far from the world below
             F#/A#        Bm A/C# D G Gm
up where the clear wind blows

Some hang on to "used to be"
Live their lives looking behind
All we have is here and now
All our life, out there to find

The road is long
There are mountains in our way
But we climb a step every day

Chorus:
Love lift us up where we belong
Where the eagles cry, on a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong
Far from the world below,
up where the clear winds blow

F          C/E  D#          A#/D
Time goes by   no time to cry
C#             G#/C
Life's you and I
 A#      G# A#
Alive today

Chorus:
Love lift us up where we belong
Where the eagles cry, on a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong
Far from the world below
Where the clear winds blow
Love lift us up where we belong
Where the eagles cry, on a mountain high
Love lift us up where we belong
