The Wings Of an Eagle

The Wings Of An Eagle
by Russell Morris

Well I'm looking up at an overcast sky in the morning
I can't hear the warning as it calls to you
As the birds migrate and the wind is raised
I'll see the eagle soaring
Although I'm just a pawn in nature's game like you
Wah hoo wah hoo, wah hoo ...


On the wings of an eagle I find myself lifted through the skies
Lifted up above the world to see
On the wings of an eagle I find myself lifted through the skies
Lifted up above the world to see
Can you see me? Can you see me?


As the days roll on and the nights get long
The changing of the seasons
And the falling autumn leaves they bring me down
They bring me down, they bring me down

[Instrumental]

Do you lose your way in the middle of the day
Do you see your brother crawling?
And all the while he's calling out for help from you?
Wah hoo wah hoo, wah hoo ...



On the wings of an eagle I find myself lifted through the skies
Lifted up above the world to see
On the wings of an eagle I find myself lifted through the skies
Lifted up above the world to see

Can you see me? Can you see me?
Can you see me? Can you see me?

Can you see me? Can you see me?
Can you see me? Can you see me?

Can you see me? Can you see me?
Can you see me? Can you see me?

Can you see me? Can you see me?
Can you see me? Can you see me?

 

The bible carries the reference to the eagle as the messenger of God and is a link between Heaven and earth.  Two examples are:-

 

...........I carried you on eagle's wings and brought you to myself. Exodus 19:4

 

..............but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength.  They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:31

 

About three days before Zoe passed, this song kept popping into my head.  It wasn't until Zoe passed that I realised the significance of the song.  I wasn't sure of the song or who sang it but was able to track down a copy of it for Zoe's funeral after I sang it to Lea.  I would like to think that this is a message from Zoe's spirit or soul that she was being lifted up on eagles wings. Also I can remember my mother telling me that a few days before my grandmother passed she told mum that she felt like two people, was her soul beginning to separate??
