King of the Sky

I spread my wings in majestic flight
As I show the world my pride
On the brink of extinction, I made it back
Though many before me died

Hunted for trophies, I don't know why
For years we didn't stand a chance
But you paid attention and gave us your heart
And together the world took a stance

I'm here to say thank you for not letting us die
Your friend the eagle, the king of the sky
