LYRICS:

\n

We can\u2019t soar above this

\n

Or migrate away

\n

Just leaden on the land without wings

\n

We\u2019re deafened and deceived

\n

An outcome out of sight

\n

Lost without non-human rights?

\n

Oh where the eagles live

\n

Over the rim of a far long cliff

\n

Where I lay on my belly and look over the edge

\n

So I could get a glimpse of what eagles have

\n

So I could get a glimpse inside an eagle\u2019s head

\n

I wish I could get up there

\n

Glide through the sky

\n

As chaos plays out on the ground

\n

Where money does the talking

\n

But could it be contrite?

\n

Can it say non-human rights?

\n

Oh where the eagles live

\n

Over the rim of a far long cliff

\n

Where I lay on my belly and look over the edge

\n

So I could get a glimpse of what eagles have

\n

So I could get a glimpse inside an eagle\u2019s head

\n

It\u2019s more than philosophical

\n

An upgrade for us all

\n

Replace positions we\u2019ve been claiming for so long

\n

It\u2019s a necessary call

\n

An unexpected rule of law

\n

And change the patterns that would otherwise go on

\n

Oh where the eagles live

\n

Over the rim of a far long cliff

\n

Where I lay on my belly and look over the edge

\n

So I could get a glimpse of what eagles have

\n

So I could get a glimpse inside an eagle\u2019s head
