As I watch the eagle soar the sky ---
I yearn to do the same---
To fly away to worlds unknown
where no one knows my name.

People are so thoughtless, uncaring,
unconcerned---
They think only of themselves,
And what they 'think' they've earned.

I feel so locked inside myself
Unable to be free---
Unlike the eagle soaring high
Above the deep-blue sea.

If I could just be free
from the pain inside my head---
From thinking I'd be better off
if I were only dead.

I can't be like the eagle
to find peace within myself---
For it's with a greater Being
my burdens must be left.
