LYRICS:

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
