Lord knows I am peaceful when I'm left alone

I've always been an eagle, it's been a while since I have flown

My claws are sharp as ever and 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, it don't mean that I'm tame

You've jeopardized my freedom, my natural place to roost

I can fly when I have to, if they turn the eagle loose

So lay all your doubts aside when you go to bed tonight

My feathers are all ruffled now, I'm ready for a fight

Just because I took a while to fly don't mean I don't care

When you feel the shadow crossin', the eagle's in the air

So lay all your doubts aside when you go to bed tonight

My feathers are all ruffled now, I'm ready for a fight

Just because I took a while to fly don't mean I don't care

When you feel the shadow crossin', the eagle's in the air

When you feel the shadow crossin', the eagle's in the air
