"Eagle Up"
Some didn't quite understand.
But there were those in the know.
It was simply his mantra.
And he lived by that code.
"Eagle Up, hoss",
That's what he'd always say.
You've gotta spread those wings,
It's time to seize the day.
Don't let the sun set on your problems,
Tomorrow's sun will come up.
Lay down those heavy burdens,
You've gotta "Eagle Up".
An eagle doesn't care,
If there's not another fish in the lake.
He's always a move ahead,
Another flight path he can take.
Do you think he ever worries,
Where he'll get his next meal?
You've got God on your side,
So don't fall to the devil's heel.
It's time you get to livin',
While you're still alive.
It's time to "Eagle Up", hoss,
Spread those wings and fly.
In every clouded moment,
You can find a silver line.
You've gotta "Eagle Up", hoss,
Everything will work out fine.
But You've gotta "Eagle Up",
It's really not as bad as it seems.
If you take the time to think about it,
Even a nightmare's just a dream.
Don't dwell on what you hate,
Proclaim that which you love.
It's a positive frame of mind
But you've gotta "Eagle Up".
It's been a year since I heard the news.
As an eagle soars in the sky above.
His legacy will live forever,
In this music that I love.
And his words echo deep inside.....
"Rowdy", I'm about to "Eagle Up"
