I Am The Eagle Lyrics

I Am The Eagle

(Music and Lyrics by Rhett Davis)

There once was a silver grey fox of great beauty

Who lived very deep in the woods

Afraid of the meadow where life once before

Had treated her worse than it should

And to think of the mountain beyond the green meadow

Did surely bring fear to her heart

For she'd heard the stories of all the great hunters

And shivered and cried in the dark

Tired of living a life of dark shadows

The fox ventured out in the light

And rejoiced at the sounds and the smell of the meadow

While keeping her shelter in sight

Then all at once such a fear overcame her

As a shadow passed over the sun

And as she heard the cry of the great hunting eagle

She knew it was over and done

Chorus:

I am the eagle - the sweet soaring eagle

I've come to take you away

High up the mountain past sparkling blue rivers

And show you the place where I stay

Please do not fear me for I will not harm you

No matter what others may say

For thought it is true that our lives should not mingle

I've need of some friendship today

I've need of some love today)

Though she didn't know why she accepted the offer

And reluctantly climbed on his back

And the woods and the meadow were left far behind her

It seemed she would never get back

Then the fox sensed a yearning deep within the great eagle

And she felt something stir in her too

Could she the fox fall in love with the eagle

And he fall in love with her too

Could this eagle be lonely and searching for someone

To help him rule his domain

Had he ever had someone to love and protect him

And bring him in out of the rain

Then the eagle spoke soft and his words were a wonder

In a voice touched with sadness it seemed

Even though I may hunt in the name of survival

I need not kill all that I see
