An Eagle

I see an eagle flying high in the sky.
I wonder, "Why can't I?"
I ask myself, "What is holding me back?"
Is there something that I lack?
I have not figured it out yet,
So, I must be able to fly like a bird.
There are some people that I have met.
They have told me things I have never heard.
An eagle soars above the tree-top.
It reminds me that I can do anything.
No one would be there to tell me to stop.
I could be with the eagle flying.
This world will not be in my way.
I shall overcome all that is against me.
I shall not listen to the lies people say.
An eagle will help me, you will see.
An eagle will be with me
And we shall fly side-by-side.
I shall be anything I want to be.
An eagle will teach me not to hide.
