Lord knows I am peaceful,
When I'm left alone
I've always been an eagle,
Been a while since I have flown
My claws are sharp as ever,
So is my eagle eye
Something's gonna go tonight,
When the eagle flies
Lately I've heard rumors,
That the eagle may be lame
Just because I've been idle,
Don't mean that I'm tame
You've jeopardized my freedom,
My natural place to roost
I can fly if I have to,
If they turn the eagle loose

So lay all your doubts aside,
When you go to bed tonight
My feathers have been ruffled,
And i'm ready for a fight
Just because I took a while to fly,
Don't mean that i don't care
When you feel the shadow crossing,
The eagle's in the air

So lay all your doubts aside,
When you go to bed tonight
My feathers have been ruffled,
And i'm ready for a fight
Just because I took a while to fly,
Don't mean that i don't care
When you feel the shadow crossing,
The eagle's in the air

When you feel the shadow crossing,
The eagle's in the air
