......
Lord knows I am peaceful
when I'm left alone
I've always been an eagle,
been awhile since I have flown
My claws are sharp as ever,
so is my eagle eye
Somethings 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
I can fly if I have to,
if they turn the eagle loose
Chorus:
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 awhile 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 awhile 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.
