EAGLE FLY, BUT DON'T FLY AWAY

 

Artist Note: May we come to understand that in addition to our prayers

for the Mother's healing, we must take affirmative steps in whatever ways we can to help her. 

We must walk our talk.  We must live the truths we speak about...or our words mean nothing.

 

It is our actions, not our words, that proclaim what is in our heart.

Eagle fly, but don't fly away / I offer this prayer that you might stay

I know your wings are tattered...by the things we've done /  I hear your cry for us to awaken

 

Mother Earth is giving all that she can give / Her loving breath of life she gives so freely

How could we be so blind not to see / That she is hurting too...just as we

 

Upon the wind you spread your wings and fly / Through the mist we hear your haunting cry

But with the help from all our brothers / We'll make a better day

Eagle fly...but don't fly away

 

From your lofty view on mountain high / You've seen the selfish things that we have tried

We poisioned every river and we stripped the land / We put those lonely tears in your eyes

 

Upon the wind you spread your wings and fly / Through the mist we hear your haunting cry

But with the help from all our sisters / We'll make a better day

Eagle fly...but don't fly away

 

Eagle fly...Eagle fly...fly

 

Standing on the threshold of a brand new dawn / A world in which our children may grow wiser

Skies of blue, waters clear...and grass so green / Our earth will be healed, this is our dream

 

Upon the wind your spread your wings and fly / Through the mist we hear your haunting cry

But with the help from all our relations / We'll make a better day

Eagle fly...but don't fly away

Eagle fly...but please don't fly away

Don't fly away
