Lyrics

Eagles Wing Calls

[Verse 1]
At first light he stands
Eagles Wing' on the hill
River dust on his boots
Eyes on the far green plain
He says, “Brothers, sisters
Pack the fire and go”
The old ground gave us memory
Now the new ground calls us home

[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the drum
Hear the drum
Feet like thunder in the earth
Hands up high
Hands up high
We are more than what we’ve lost

[Chorus]
Eagles Wing'
High flying messenger
Lead us on
Lead us on
Eagles Wing'
High flying messenger
To the better land
To the better land
(Lead us on)
(Lead us on)

[Verse 2]
He walks with the morning sun
He walks with the elder songs
Little ones keep close beside
Mothers carry seed and stone
He points past the broken ridge
Past the dry and splintered ground
“Where the water bends and shines
That is where our name rings out”

[Pre-Chorus]
Hear the drum
Hear the drum
Feet like thunder in the earth
Hands up high
Hands up high
We are more than what we’ve lost

[Chorus]
Eagles Wing'
High flying messenger
Lead us on
Lead us on
Eagles Wing'
High flying messenger
To the better land
To the better land
(Lead us on)
(Lead us on)

[Bridge]
When the wind turns cold
When the path runs long
We will not fold
We will sing our strong
Eagles Wing'!
Eagles Wing'!
Bring us through the dark
Bring us through the dark

[Final Chorus]
Eagles Wing'
High flying messenger
Lead us on
Lead us on
Eagles Wing'
High flying messenger
To the better land
To the better land
Eagles Wing'
High flying messenger
Lead us on
Lead us on
(Lead us on)
(To the better land)
