Whispered Intro Fly, eagle… fly… Verse 1 They paved the fields, they drained the streams Sold off the silence for machine dreams Painted clouds on a warehouse wall Said “here’s your freedom — don’t stand tall” Verse 2 Told me “be grateful,” said “this is enough” Tied my hands with polite and tough But I was born where thunder flies Now I’m flapping in chains beneath dead skies Chorus Where will the eagle fly When you take away its blue sky, blue sky-ah-hi Grounded wings in a cage of rules Turned the wild into their fools You can steal the wind, but not the cry Where will the eagle fly… when there's no more sky? Verse 3 They clap on cue while feathers fall Write my name in a protocol Smile and nod when I fade from view But never asked what the silence knew Bridge I had power in my hands Fire in my veins Youth on my side No fear of the rain But storms came quiet And time passed loud Now I stand grounded Lost in the crowd I had power in my hands But now I can no longer fly Final Chorus Where will the eagle fly When you take away its blue sky, blue sky-ah-hi You grounded grace with your paper lies But freedom echoes when silence cries You can cage the bird, but not the sky Where will the eagle fly… Where will the eagle fly… 💭 Whispered Outro Fly, eagle… fly…
