Eagle In Stilettoes

Licenced to Rule
                 you can break open the sky
                 The world is your runway and you are an Eagle in stilettoes 
                 Strike a peacock pose, this is your parade
                 Click your heels and take flight

                 We are not trapped or locked up in these bones
                 No, no, we are uncaged and unroofed
                 Licenced to Rule
                 we can break open the sky

                 The world is your runway and you are the 
                 showstopper - AKA - Naomi Campbell - an Eagle in stilettoes 
                 You reigned supreme of the catwalk.....Broke open the sky
