To Be An Eagle
To Be An Eagle

Rise
in yourself
now the time is right for you to make
your move
there’s no one else
to tell you how to make it through, dear
Time
will soon tell
such a tale of how one pair of wings
could climb
over the walls
leaving behind a world of pure fear
.
.
The truth is masked
by thousands of nightmares
The cage is packed
no use for keys, no one dares
The sky is dark
No hope for a sun there
.
.
So lonely up, you know that too
they stare but none will join you
.
.
They stay behind all doubting
Fighting breaks and shouting
Calling you down there
Begging you to land
.
.
In their confusion they have forgotten
Who they are and how things have gone rotten
.
.
If you would listen now
You’d risk missing how
the wind would feel when you do stretch
those set of wings you managed to stitch
If you can stay up there
Keep soaring in the air
You will learn how to truly see
What it means, son, and how to be
A close and dear friend
To no one, but the wind.
