Eagle Out of Egypt

Like an eagle out of Egypt...flying faster than the wind Leaving many shackles, chains and cages Leaving sorrow and sickness and a multitude of sins How, where or when? He really doesn't know...and really doesn't care He only wants his freedom Destiny awaits...he takes that dare Super charged and scared soon he's chased by 600 chariots Those vultures full of vengeance they want him back where he belongs They sing their songs...he does not listen He's only heeding Heavens voice With force and fury out of Perdition he flaps his wings toward Paradise Now his body is getting tired so he harnesses his hate His fears they give him fuel as his feathers turn to flames Soon he's a sole survivor...family and friends to him are dead They still bow before the men with whips...to their wickedest of whims He can feel their scars and stains still salvation keeps him safe A double dose can't devastate A triple threat can't cause him terror Many arrows shot right to his soul...still his father takes him further Finally he turns around and sees a special sight Something so supernatural a mortals mind could not describe The vultures they all vanish...swallowed in a sea of red Still he flaps his wings much harder so he won't break dance with the dead Far from harm he hears a voice so warm and full of love He sees a nest with no thorns and he makes that nest his home That eagle out of Egypt is told one final thing... "Never use your freedom in a foul way or you'll soon become a slave"
