From the recording Silent Toads
〈Soar Like an Eagle〉是一首寫給 underdog 的歌。歌詞靈感來自電影《Eddie the Eagle》，從第一句「I’m not good at anything I know」就點出主角的自卑起點，但隨著歌曲的推進，情緒也從懷疑、抗爭、堅持一路上升，最終在副歌中唱出：「Now it’s my time to shine」「I will soar like an eagle」，宛如在雲層中突破陰影、振翅高飛。
不論你是否曾經跌倒、不被肯定，這首歌都像一股能量，鼓勵你咬牙再站起來，做自己的英雄。
"Soar Like an Eagle" is a song dedicated to the underdogs. The lyrics are inspired by the film Eddie the Eagle, beginning with the line “I’m not good at anything I know,” which immediately reveals the protagonist’s deep-rooted self-doubt. As the song progresses, the emotion builds—from uncertainty to defiance to unwavering determination—culminating in the chorus with the empowering lines: “Now it’s my time to shine” and “I will soar like an eagle,” like breaking through the clouds and taking flight beyond the shadows.
Whether you’ve fallen or felt unrecognized, this song is a surge of strength—encouraging you to rise again and become your own hero.
Lyrics
I’m not good at anything I know
I have no talent and maybe I’m kind of slow
One day I found my dream in life
I’ve made up my mind to achieve that before I die
And I just don’t know why
Some people like to hurt my feelings and make me cry
I know I must be strong
Against the odds and prove them wrong
Everything is just so fine
And I got peace in my mind
I won’t hesitate
Now It’s my time to shine
Everything is just so fine
When I crossed that finish line
I did the best I could
I’m floating on cloud nine
Everyone sees me as a joke
They can laugh at me
But I’m not going to lose my hope
I fall, I fail, and I’m in pain
Get right back up
Grit my teeth and try again
My old man said “give it up.”
“To live a life like normal people.”
But I believe in myself
I will soar like an eagle
Everything is just so fine
And I got peace in my mind
I won’t hesitate
Now It’s my time to shine
Everything is just so fine
When I crossed that finish line
I did the best I could
I’m floating on cloud nine
There’s a fire in my heart
I got to keep it lit
Never quit
Everything is just so fine
And I got peace in my mind
I won’t hesitate
Now It’s my time to shine
Everything is just so fine
When I crossed that finish line
I did the best I could
I’m floating on cloud nine
