The day his treasured
Freedom almost died
His wings were frayed
Mighty talons snipped
Tossed in a cage
And locked away
No words were spoken
His voice restrained
His heart was broken
The land he loved
Had sadly changed
Suddenly shackled
In iron clad chains
He drifted into restless slumber
Dreamed of the days
He soared with lightning bolts
And roars of thunder
No one dare challenge
His might
He toppled foes
With strength and pride
Eagle began to slowly fade
Growing weaker day by day
He called to his people
To save his life
Make haste he prayed
Don’t wait until we're out of time
His patriots grew angry
And answered his call
Nursing him back from near fatal fall
Nursing him back from near fatal fall
We shook our fists in fits of rage
How dare you treat our eagle this way
We'll fight for right side by side
We'll NEVER watch our eagle die
Eagle emerged from his cage of wire
Attacking his captors traitors and liars
Soaring high in his American sky
Defeating his enemies
With wings of fire
Eagle emerged from his cage of wire
Attacking his captors traitors and liars
Soaring high in his American sky
Defeating his enemies
With wings of fire
