Where Eagles Live

We can’t soar above this
Or migrate away
Just leaden on the land without wings

We’re deafened and deceived
An outcome out of sight
Lost without non-human rights?

Oh where the eagles live
Over the rim of a far long cliff

Where I lay on my belly and look over the edge
So I could get a glimpse of what eagles have
So I could get a glimpse inside an eagle’s head

I wish I could get up there
Glide through the sky
As chaos plays out on the ground

Where money does the talking
But could it be contrite?
Can it say non-human rights?

Oh where the eagles live
Over the rim of a far long cliff
Where I lay on my belly and look over the edge
So I could get a glimpse of what eagles have
So I could get a glimpse inside an eagle’s head

It’s more than philosophical
An upgrade for us all
Replace positions we’ve been claiming for so long

It’s a necessary call
An unexpected rule of law
And change the patterns that would otherwise go on

Oh where the eagles live
Over the rim of a far long cliff
Where I lay on my belly and look over the edge
So I could get a glimpse of what eagles have
So I could get a glimpse inside an eagle’s head
