Fly like and eagle
Soar through the clouds,
Look down upon earth
It is hard to be proud,
So many people scurrying around
Just like ants we cover all of the ground,
Rainforests are shrinking
Just like the ice in the Arctic,
We need a paradigm shift
We need to find a way to spark it,
I see from up here the poverty
Favelas, ghettos and slums,
I wonder when this suffering will be done,
Then I smell the stink of power
The rich and the greedy in their finery,
Exploiting the needy by the hour,
But I also see the beauty of nature
And as I drift away I will return later,
And hope to have answers that may turn things around
Down within societies on the ground,
And as I fly away I the sounds,
Of anguished shouts and babies cries
The sound of guns and bombs and I ask why,
It should be sounds of play and laughter
And everybody living happy ever after,
And as I go I see the world grow darker,
And I hope one day to return as the light increases
And I see and equal balance of all nature, and species,
And equal share for all people
Maybe it could be humanities sequal,
When change rips through our entire earth
And maybe we’ll see mankind’s true worth.
