The Eagle

It's been a long dark night

And I've been waiting for the morning light

But all I see is darkness on the horizon

And as I watch one eagle soar

And then another underneath it

Joining him, then I know that we ain't dying

Then I hear the eagle cry, oh look at her fly

And brothers that's a battle we won

We'll fly away one by one

It was for so long we couldn't fly

We were struck down on the wings of demise

But you can't change our way of living

Our home is here up in the clouds

You build a cage and we'll tear it down

And baby that's a battle that we will be winning

When you hear the eagle cry, oh look at her fly

And brothers that's a battle we won

We'll fly away one by one, one by one

I think I'm hearing voices come down

From the angle birds down in Georgia town

And it's the battle call of our people

I think it must be judgment day and boys

It looks like we're going down this way

And coming up into our spires as steeples

Then I hear the eagle cry, oh look at her fly

And brothers that's a battle we won

We'll fly away one by one

It's been a long dark night

And I've been waiting on the morning light

I believe I hear it coming now

And you'll want such a beautiful morning

Holy victory, victory, victory

And brothers I think we just won

We'll fly away one by one
