Stream the song: https://ffm.to/eagles-rubenhein 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 Dick Forsman: http://www.dickforsman.com/ Ruben Hein: https://rubenhein.nl/ // SUPPORT THIS CHANNEL // Newsletter, donations and download the song for €/$1 @ https://podsongs.com // LINKS // Website: https://podsongs.com Podcast episodes: https://podsongs.com/podcast-episodes Songs: https://podsongs.com/music Spotify artist: https://open.spotify.com/artist/32FYyRx1y1ex3jHHAgLMC7?si=4Nv7WW85SbSPZvCsj1o7Ig Spotify playlist: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6sN1viy82HPiNTVX2YBxpq?si=1b84c2b9bdea4656 // SOCIAL // Twitter: https://twitter.com/podsongs Instagram: https://instagram.com/podsongs Facebook: https://facebook.com/podsongs
