Fly said the Eagle, fly if you can
Then pushed him right out of the nest
And he flapped and he flapped
As his little heart raced
He was out on his first major quest
*
He cried as he fell with the ground coming up
And he spread out his talons to slow
He flapped those wings hard
As he plummeted down
Then pushed him right out of the nest
And he flapped and he flapped
As his little heart raced
He was out on his first major quest
*
He cried as he fell with the ground coming up
And he spread out his talons to slow
He flapped those wings hard
As he plummeted down
To the rising ground waiting below
*
A deafening tone looking back to the sky
A snare drum was rattling his chest
While feeling his heart,
drew his wings far apart,
giving chase in the ultimate test.
A snare drum was rattling his chest

By a snap and a whoosh he was carving away
from the line that had drawn his demise.
With his head tilted back
saw a cloud to attack
past the smile within mother’s eyes.
