As Eagles Fly Songtext
von Candace Hastings

My mother was a girl, when they took her from the rez
An offering to the devil, that′s what everybody says
She could taste and touch the freedom, she could see it on the hill
She turned to the familiar, and she cries about it still

But as eagles fly, we will rise,
Jagenagenan, I see forever in her eyes
As eagles fly, we rise


Just like my mother before me, I was taken from my home
When my sisters found me, they claimed me as their own
They never let me dwell, on the things that might have been
They put their arms around me, said you'll never be alone again.

And as eagles fly, we will rise,
Jagenagenan, I see forever in their eyes
As eagles fly, we rise
As eagles fly, we rise

Now the government owns my body, the banker took my house
Coyote on the fenceline′s got my feathers in his mouth
The river she runs angry, and the world is so unkind
But anger born of sadness makes a tender heart go blind


And as eagles fly, we will rise,
Jagenagenan, I see forever in our eyes
As eagles fly, we rise
