LYRICS:
We can’t soar above this
Or migrate away
Just leaden on the land without wings
We’re deafened and deceived
An outcome out of sight
Lost without non-human rights?
Oh where the eagles live
Over the rim of a far long cliff
Where I lay on my belly and look over the edge
So I could get a glimpse of what eagles have
So I could get a glimpse inside an eagle’s head
I wish I could get up there
Glide through the sky
As chaos plays out on the ground
Where money does the talking
But could it be contrite?
Can it say non-human rights?
Oh where the eagles live
Over the rim of a far long cliff
Where I lay on my belly and look over the edge
So I could get a glimpse of what eagles have
So I could get a glimpse inside an eagle’s head
It’s more than philosophical
An upgrade for us all
Replace positions we’ve been claiming for so long
It’s a necessary call
An unexpected rule of law
And change the patterns that would otherwise go on
Oh where the eagles live
Over the rim of a far long cliff
Where I lay on my belly and look over the edge
So I could get a glimpse of what eagles have
So I could get a glimpse inside an eagle’s head
