The lonely eagle

-->
Up above in the skies I see
My kind soaring above
Revelling in their might
Their song sweet to sing
Especially in the nights

Here I am a lonely eagle on the ground
Flight seems like fright
And soar like sore
My wings are clipped
And my dreams almost gone

Yet I know like all eagles I must fly
I know home lies in the sky
I am an eagle son of the sky
Homeward I will head
But until my frail wings become fortified with enough keratin
The ground remains my humble abode
