An eagle's just another bird 
 
Until he can spread his wings.

A river is just a sheet of ice 
     C#              D# 
'til winter turns to spring. 
    G# 
And though the clouds may block the sun 
D#                            C# 
Don't mean that it's left the sky. 
G#            D#           Fm 
Just when you think you've seen it all 
        C#                  D# 
There's more that meets the eye. 
     Fm                 A#m 
Like things I dream and things I feel 
        Fm              C# 
There's more to me than I reveal 
             G#       D# 
And 'cause I shine in quiet ways 
    Fm                C# 
I'm someone you don't recognize. 
G#    D#      Fm     G# 
I'm a diamond in the rough 
  C#      D#     G# 
A dreamer in disguise.
