Eagles Flying Free
Caught in the darkness hoping to escape, staying in the shadows knowing no wake.Showing no fear, holding life, family, and friends dear.Staying strong, they have been there all along.They stand there ground never backing down.Finally seeing the sun blinded by the light, seeing what was done not only of what it will become.Haunted by the past, and mistakes that were done, worried about the future wanting to go numb.Having people there by their sides and hoping for their brothers to survive.They’ll Going to ride till they die, till there job is done, and everything is alright.Taking one step at a time, seeing where it may take them, there all trying to stay alive.Seeing people crying for their sons, daughters, fathers, mothers, wishing for them to come home.Wishing this war would end, fighting this never ending battle to keep us free.Standing on the sidelines not knowing what to do.But knowing if you don’t do something the game is through.People are killing, people are still dieing, keep on praying and they’ll keep on fighting.Just stare out at the horizon and know the eagle fly’s free forever and wherever it goes.Because of the warriors that names go unknown, till they all return home.
