Well he always dreamed that he could fly And feel free just like the hawk There is magic in the dreams he had That lead the path that he'd walked And though he left us years ago His spirit took to the sky And through life lessons and stories His memory will never die Now we all do miss him very much But you know God has a plan And he'll send him back to earth To soar over this land Might be reincarnation Or maybe a wish come true Well I believe Dad came back as a hawk Watching over me and you Well he'll track us along the old dirt road from the House down to the barn Just keeping a watchful eye on us Then he'll follow us all back home And if i'm feeling down And I need my father's advice Well I know just where to find him He flies along those Western skies Now we all do miss him very much But you know God has a plan And he'll send him back to earth To soar over this land Might be reincarnation Or maybe a wish come true Well I believe dad came back as a hawk Watching over me and you Well I remember a few days after he passed My mom took a walk outside She said this hawk had followed her everywhere And let her out of his sight And the strange thing is Hawks are rare You don't see them much on the ranch But ever since Dad's been gone Well there's been one Sitting up on that branch Now we all do miss him very much But you know God has a plan And he'll send him back to earth To soar over this land Might be reincarnation Or maybe a wish come true Well I believe dad came back as a hawk Watching over me and you Yeah I believe my dad is that old hawk And i guess dreams do come true
