Lord knows I am peaceful
When I'm left alone
I've always been an eagle
Been a while since I have flown
My claws are sharp as ever
So is my eagle eye
Something's gonna go tonight
When the eagle flies
Lately I've heard rumors
That the eagle may be lame
Just because I've been idle
Don't mean that I'm tame
You've jeopardized my freedom
My natural place to roost
I can fly ifI have to
If they turn the eagle loose
So lay all your doubts aside
When you go to bed tonight
My feathers have been ruffled
And I'm ready for a fight
Just because I took a while to fly
Don't mean that I don't care
When you feel the shadow crossing
The eagle's in the air
So lay all your doubts aside
When you go to bed tonight
My feathers have been ruffled
And I'm ready for a fight
Just because I took a while to fly
Don't mean that I don't care
When you feel the shadow crossing
The eagle's in the air
When you feel the shadow crossing
The eagle's in the air
