In the Words of An Eagle
In the Words of an Eagle
It seems that my whole life
I’ve looked toward the sky
I know you’re up there somewhere
But I just don’t know why
You never seem to see me
No matter how I try
If I could be the eagle
If only for one day
I would soar down from the heavens
Just so I could say
You are not the only one
There’s more than just you’re way
I’d tell you I’m not perfect
I know I’ve made mistakes
But I always try my hardest
No matter what it takes
Then wallow in the sorrow
As tears turn into snow flakes
But most of all I’d tell you
Why the eagle has to fly
Cause it’s hard to tell their teardrops
When they’re falling from the sky
If the eagle had some courage
If he didn’t fly away
If he looked inside his heart
He might find the words to say
I love you and I'm proud of you
You've learned from your mistakes
But if I have to tell him
My heart will always ache
