From the recording Native American Jazz
Lyrics
Eagle Coming Home
[Verse 1]
At dawn we stood by the river bend
Feathers turning gold on the wind
You rose above the pine and stone
White head bright as a prayer coming home
[Pre-Chorus]
Circle the sky
Circle the fire
We hear your cry
Lift us higher
[Chorus]
Eagle coming home
Eagle coming home
Fly back to us
Fly back to us
Eagle coming home
Eagle coming home
Carry our names
Carry our names
[Verse 2]
Over the cliffs where the cedar grows
Past the red earth and the winter snow
You watched the valleys, you watched the stars
Never far from the beating heart
[Pre-Chorus]
Circle the sky
Circle the fire
We hear your cry
Lift us higher
[Chorus]
Eagle coming home
Eagle coming home
Fly back to us
Fly back to us
Eagle coming home
Eagle coming home
Carry our names
Carry our names
[Bridge]
Go on, brother
Through the blue
Take our songs
And bring them through
Guide our steps
Guard the land
Wing to wing
With open hands
[Final Chorus]
Eagle coming home
Eagle coming home
Fly back to us
Fly back to us
Eagle coming home
Eagle coming home
Carry our names
Carry our names
Eagle coming home
Eagle coming home
