Out in the distance
The American Eagle glides
Triumphantly across the sky
With the Spirit of patriotic valor..
His mission...to establish liberty
and defend the cause of justice;
At a glance
I see the mighty Eagle passing by
At an alarming altitude
I see him returning safely home
With an air of poise and a fierce attitude
He sits victoriously upon that purple-mountain peak
Savoring the sweet taste of victory
His prey clutched tightly within each talon!
