Eagle

Lord knows I am peaceful when I'm left alone
I've always been an eagle it's been a while since I have flown
My claws are as sharp as ever so's my eagle eye
Something's gonna go to ground when the eagle flies
Lately I've heard rumors that the eagle may be lame
Just because I've been idle don't mean that I'm tame
You've jeopardized my freedom my natural place to roost
I can fly when I have to they've turned the eagle loose
So lay all your doubts aside when you go to bed tonight
My feathers are all ruffled now I'm ready for a fight
Just because I took a while to fly don't mean I don't care
When you feel the shadow crossing the eagle's in the air
So lay all your doubts aside...
When you feel the shadow crossing the eagle's in the air
