Lyrics

High Flying Eagle

[Intro]
Ho-ya heya
Ho-ya heya
High flying eagle
Ho-ya heya

[Verse 1]
Wings cut the sunrise
Feathers catching fire
You circle our mountains
You circle our trials
Eagle eyes above us
Seeing all we hide
Grandfather
You’re breathing
In the rolling sky

[Chorus]
High flying eagle
Carry our prayers to the dawn (hey!)
Eagle eyes watch over us
Every child
Every home
High flying eagle
Hold this land in your flight
Grandfather spirit in your shadow
Keep our hearts in the light

[Verse 2]
Drums like our heartbeat
Feet on sacred ground
Voices rise together
Old and young
One sound
You follow our rivers
From desert up to snow
Guard the quiet valleys
Every place we go

[Chorus]
High flying eagle
Carry our prayers to the dawn (oh hey!)
Eagle eyes watch over us
Every child
Every home
High flying eagle
Hold this land in your flight
Grandfather spirit in your shadow
Keep our hearts in the light

[Bridge]
Ho-ya heya
We are your feathers
Ho-ya heya
We are your song (hey!)
Ho-ya heya
Grandfather
Guide us
As you’re flying on
Flying on

[Chorus]
High flying eagle
Carry our prayers to the dawn
Eagle eyes watch over us
Every child
Every home
High flying eagle
Hold this land in your flight
Grandfather spirit in your shadow
Keep our hearts in the light

[Outro]
Ho-ya heya
High flying eagle
Ho-ya heya
Watch over us
