From An Eagle's Eye

Distant mountains, a purple haze, Kangaroo stands up to gaze, Station horses and sheep graze, On an unforgiving plain. Red gums line a bone-dry creek, Pink galahs swirl and shriek, Bones are bleaching from the weak, On harsh and dry terrain. Soaring high in the world you own, With not a kingdom’s soul unknown, On the red soil plain beneath a clear blue sky, So much seen in an Eagles eye. Every movement, every sound, On the saltbush covered ground, Thinking safe and can’t be found, Cannot slip by. A dingo on the prowl… is in an Eagles eye, A Whirly-whirly dance… is in an Eagles eye, Seek the frail so the strong survive, Keeping the outback so alive… From an Eagles eye. Soaring high in the world you own, With not a kingdom’s soul unknown, On the red soil plain beneath a clear blue sky, So much to see in an Eagles eye.
