I also sang this song at graduation. I didn't have much of a strong connection with it, but my director started tearing up during the end of it. She directed the 6th grade choir, all the way through high school choir. She got to see us all age up through the years and eventually leave. I hope I never forget her.
I'm sure when he wrote this song he didn't know it would be apart of so so many children's life. I sang this in 1999 choir. And still sing it to myself sometimes.
I know the composer, he's a very famous jazz and concert band composer/arranger, and sadly he is not particularly proud of being best know for having composed this song :(
My choir sang this at our last concert last night, and I couldn't help but crying because this our choir teachers last year and the last day of school is TOMORROW!!! I'm so not looking forward to it because we all love her soooooo much, I can't imagine choir without Mrs.Woodward💙😭 im also gonna miss all the 8th graders because they're going to a new school. Mrs.Woodward is probably one of the best things that's ever happened to me this year. We will always love you Mrs.Woodward Bianca Rogers
We sang this song for country chorus in 88 I believe. Still remember the male part. This is absolutely my favorite off all the chorus songs we sang. A beautiful song. A beautiful time. Memories are great aren't they? ❤
I remember singing this song in my 8th grade choir a long time ago!! This is such a BEAUTIFUL, song plus it has a GREAT, meaning and a GREAT, way to teach kids about the GOOD THINGS in life!! Plus as I was reading the comments, it's a GREAT, graduation song!! This choir did such a GREAT, job on this song!! "WAY TO GO!!!!"
My mem'ries. A graduation song when I graduated high school way back 2001. When I was in first year college, we have a song composition in our humanities subject. I decided to translate this to Filipino and luckily I won the competition. I am the champion.
Carl Strommen - Like an Eagle Now is the time To follow the wind To walk alone And a star will show the way Above the clouds Beyond the sea And now is the time And now and farewell And as we part You taught me well You gave me strength You showed the way I'll not forget you Like an eagle I will soar above the clouds I will spread my wings and fly into the sun Like an eagle I will race above the stars I will fly to places yet unseen Go beyond my wildest dreams Know that you are watching over me And all alone I will follow the stars above As my guide As my guide I trust in you To show the way to me Beyond the sea And now is the time And now and farewell And as we part You taught me well You gave me strength You showed the way I'll not forget you Like an eagle I will race above the stars I will spread my wings and fly into the sun Like an eagle I will race above the stars I will fly to places yet unseen Go beyond my wildest dreams Know that you are watching over me Alone, I can fly with the eagle to the mountain high Race with the eagle so far beyond my dreams Like an eagle I will fly Like an eagle I will race above the stars I will spread my wings and fly into the sun Like an eagle I will soar above the clouds I will fly to places yet unseen Go beyond my wildest dreams Know that you are watching over me Like and eagle I will race above the stars Like an eagle I will fly Like an eagle I will fly I'm gonna fly the highest mountain (Fly) Fly above the clouds Like an eagle I will fly
Am impressed 14 years ago 😮😮😮 tho their maybe be older then me but if i was there i would clap for them i would literally cry i hope the 6th grader sings the song
8th grade choir. I loved this song. It popped into my head today for some reason. I had forgotten about it. I am glad I looked it up. Such a beautiful song...
We had this during our graduation in SAN ANDRES VOCATIONAL SCHOOL way back 1999 and yet it still reminds me the very. Moment when we are rendering this song I miss my ALMA MATTER.
Festival of Music, 2000, Year 7 (Final year of Primary School), Adelaide, 1000 school children from across the state of South Australia. I remember the feeling being euphoric when that many voices combined to sing this song. It was an experience that permeated my memory and still makes my eyes well, not necessarily because it makes me reminisce of my primary school years (I’m 32 now, and frankly those years were crap), but because of the brilliant emotional and psychological capabilities that voice and song as art forms can achieve when used right and for good.
We sang this for my senior graduation...the best memory ever! I am very happy to find the same "style" we did some 23 years ago! Thank you for sharing! (still brings tears to my eyes)
Carl Strommen is a super well-known and highly regarded jazz and concert band composer and arranger... can't believe he also wrote this song LOL what a banger
Singing this at the end of the school year. I tried not to cry. I've been to probably 7 different schools and this is basically my thoughts every time.
Im in high sch and tmr is our choir concert and on this day, the seniors are leaving to focus on their upcoming examinations.... This piece is so striking and meaningful that it brings me to tears. I wonder how it would be like after the seniors leave ;_;
This song makes me think about my high school days. I went to East Forsyth High School and we were the East Forsyth Fighting Eagles. The Madrigals and Caprice ( the honors choirs) sang this song at my graduation in 2007.
Carl Strommen - Like an Eagle G: Now is the time To follow the wind To walk alone And a star will show the way Above the clouds Beyond the sea And now is the time And now and farewell And as we part You taught me well You gave me strength You showed the way I'll not forget you Like an eagle I will soar above the clouds I will spread my wings and fly into the sun Like an eagle I will race above the stars I will fly to places yet unseen Go beyond my wildest dreams Know that you are watching over me And all alone I will follow the stars above As my guide As my guide I trust in you To show the way to me Beyond the sea And now is the time And now and farewell And as we part You taught me well You gave me strength You showed the way I'll not forget you Like an eagle I will race above the stars I will spread my wings and fly into the sun Like an eagle I will race above the stars I will fly to places yet unseen Go beyond my wildest dreams Know that you are watching over me Alone, I can fly with the eagle to the mountain high Race with the eagle so far beyond my dreams Like an eagle I will fly Like an eagle I will race above the stars I will spread my wings and fly into the sun Like an eagle I will soar above the clouds I will fly to places yet unseen Go beyond my wildest dreams Know that you are watching over me Like and eagle I will race above the stars Like an eagle I will fly Like an eagle I will fly I'm gonna fly the highest mountain (Fly) Fly above the clouds Like an eagle I will fly
I'm in 5th grade right now and we have 16 more days of school and we are going to sing that for our continuation. I am so excited. When I was searching it up I didn't know that it wpuld come up. Is this song only made for superior(the school)? Because that place they are in is not familiar to me and I am in that school right now.
This song our graduation song i almost cry becouse that is the last day i seen my friends Becouse were moving😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

This was our song back when I went to Central Junior High. Thanks for the great memory as I am 48 years young. 😊❤

+Harrison Williams ok, here I am, and all I have to say is that I HATE MIDDLE SCHOOL hahaha
+Seal Party11 oh and I live in a city in Utah and there 6th grade is elementary.

It is a moving song. I sang this song on my high school graduation day 35 years ago.

Carl Strommen - Like an Eagle
Now is the time
To follow the wind
To walk alone
And a star will show the way
Above the clouds
Beyond the sea
And now is the time
And now and farewell
And as we part
You taught me well
You gave me strength
You showed the way
I'll not forget you
Like an eagle I will soar above the clouds
I will spread my wings and fly into the sun
Like an eagle I will race above the stars
I will fly to places yet unseen
Go beyond my wildest dreams
Know that you are watching over me
And all alone
I will follow the stars above
As my guide
As my guide
I trust in you
To show the way to me
Beyond the sea
And now is the time
And now and farewell
And as we part
You taught me well
You gave me strength
You showed the way
I'll not forget you
Like an eagle I will race above the stars
I will spread my wings and fly into the sun
Like an eagle I will race above the stars
I will fly to places yet unseen
Go beyond my wildest dreams
Know that you are watching over me
Alone, I can fly with the eagle to the mountain high
Race with the eagle so far beyond my dreams
Like an eagle I will fly
Like an eagle I will race above the stars
I will spread my wings and fly into the sun
Like an eagle I will soar above the clouds
I will fly to places yet unseen
Go beyond my wildest dreams
Know that you are watching over me
Like and eagle I will race above the stars
Like an eagle I will fly
Like an eagle I will fly
I'm gonna fly the highest mountain
(Fly)
Fly above the clouds
Like an eagle I will fly
Thank you 💙

OH MY GOD - I was in that! But the year before. This was also the final song for the 1999 Festival of Music.
This was a middle school chorus performance somewhere c. 1997 and I still have the sheet music. So glad to be able to revisit the tune and sing along.
This is my Alma mater Song in Highschool Years in Davao del Sur National HighSchool (Digos City)Amen Alleluyah

I'm in 5th grade right now and we have 16 more days of school and we are going to sing that for our continuation. I am so excited. When I was searching it up I didn't know that it wpuld come up. Is this song only made for superior(the school)? Because that place they are in is not familiar to me and I am in that school right now.

Beautiful song
It was my choir's song for 8th grade graduation and I cried through half of it, good luck :)
This was the song for the 8th grade choir of 2013 of my school. I told my mother not to cry, but of course she did.
i luv this song, i sung this song when i was in grade 5.
This is amazing. Well done
They sing this at the seniors’ graduation every year at my school. We are the golden eagles, so Like An Eagle fits well
I sang this in my 6th grade choir , it was amazing

Class of 2019 will be missed
This is such a gorgeous version. Sometimes it gets played too fast but this is great :-)
WOW!!
i got to sing this for GRADUATION =3
It's not graduation. It's a farewell ceremony or fifth grade graduation. Graduation is when you finish high school or collage. We are in fifth grade.
you know what i mean
Yes. Were in the same class.
We did too for my school's class of 2014 graduation. Very touching and emotional song
yeah it is
Great job!!!
I sang this at a competition in 7th grade. I'm in 8th now and it's still one of my favorites.
My school is doing this and has the entire beginning up to "you taught me well" as a solo and I got it.
