The Eagle Lyrics

Verse Number One:
While working a fence on a Montana ranch….noonday sun setting high
A cowboy noticed a nest on the ground….that had fallen from a ledge in the sky
He walked on over…there he discovered…an egg unbroken, unharmed…..
So with his loving touch…he picked it up…and placed it with the hens in his yard

Verse Number Two:
Time passed, the egg hatched….a new life revealed.. an eagle in a world not its own
Though he tried to be….and he tried to feel…. like the others…he knew it was wrong
He could not conform, would not perform….all the deeds they wanted him to….
But with each day he dreamed….of the freedom it seemed…that there waited beyond the blue

THE CHORUS:
COME UP HIGHER……YOU’VE BEEN BOUND BY THE WORLD TOO LONG….
COME UP HIGHER…..COME UP WHERE YOU BELONG….
EYE HATH NOT SEEN…NOR EAR HAS IT HEARD….
JUST WHAT IS IN STORE FOR YOU….
YOU CAN FLY HIGHER…..THERE’S A HIGHER CALLING IN YOU…..

Verse Number Three
One day unexpected….a shadow appeared….a cry rang out from the sky…..
While the others all ran and trembled in fear…the eagle lifted up his eye
What he saw there…flying high in the air…was the life he knew there could be…
So with tears streaming down… he rose from the ground…ever more to be free

THE CHORUS:
COME UP HIGHER……YOU’VE BEEN BOUND BY THE WORLD TOO LONG….
COME UP HIGHER…..COME UP WHERE YOU BELONG….
EYE HATH NOT SEEN…NOR EAR HAS IT HEARD….
JUST WHAT IS IN STORE FOR YOU….
YOU CAN FLY HIGHER…..THERE’S A HIGHER CALLING IN YOU…..
