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 as sharp as ever so's my eagle eye Something's gonna go to ground 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 when I have to they've turned 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 crossing the eagle's in the air So lay all your doubts aside... When you feel the shadow crossing the eagle's in the air
