The eagle flies
In endless skies
Born free
‘Nearer my God to thee’[1]
Over the heavens and the sea
The eagle flies
In endless skies
Angel’s flight
Carried you into heaven’s light
Somewhere above
The eagle flies
In endless skies
I sojourn below
In morning’s afterglow
Sands of time fall
Echoes of a phone call
The eagle flies
In endless skies
Stardust sparkles
Name written on marble
Somewhere above
The eagle flies
In endless skies
Lanterns lit
Friendship knit
Dreams burn
Heart yearns
Unspoken conversations
Across time’s vibrations
A desert river flows
Where lays a single red rose
Hope rises
The eagle flies
In endless skies
