Eagle Rising Lyrics

Wet sand, wet shoes, warm feet, sweat

Cocooned in thick wool

A bald eagle bathes in the river

Rinsing sand from its feathers

Fresh water and salt water meet

Swirling into something new

I leave a footprint at the end of the land for the ocean to swallow

The clouds bump into one another as they race across the sky

Knocking a few drops of rain loose

They land on the hood of my raincoat

The eagle rises

It circles above the trees, held by the wind

I lay on the sand, arms spread wide, growing wings of my own
