The Majestic Eagle

If I could only fly like you So far above the earth I would be so proud to view This great land of my birth. Did you ever wonder Much the same as I How God did determine Which one of us would fly. And do you wish, As I drive by You could switch with me And travel down these black trails To lands you can't see? Who is free you or me? And if you took my place Would you feel you were better off Or would your friends look down in disgrace. Me I'd soar above the earth And not want for a thing I'd be where I could see God And hear the Angels sing. I would have such freedom I'd fly around the world Not a thing to stop me No more taxes, bills or worries. I'd go to lands so distant I hardly know they exist I would have such freedom There is nothing I would miss. Just look at that poor squirrel Laying in the road Are those your cousins eating him Oh my that is so gross. But for me you would be there For that's your way of life You have duties to preform Much the same as I. You may not have taxes You may not have bills to pay What I see as freedom Are your chores everyday. You rid the earth of vermin And have children to raise And what I envied about you Was just a passing phase. God did not play favorites He gave us both chores to do Now that I am wiser, I'll say good-bye to you. Cile Beer
