I can't imagine how the world would be
|
Not to see the gray squirrel climbing in an oak tree
|
To walk through a corn field and not see the wild duck flyin
|
I believe before the world ever got that bad
|
I'd be on my knees cryin
|
|
Won't you fly, oh eagle fly
|
You better run, little cottontail, run
|
I hope you both live long enough to see the setting sun
|
|
The lion ain't got no jungle
|
Old black bear got no cave
|
And that poor old alligator
|
Just bout seen his better days
|
|
Won't you fly, oh eagle fly
|
You better run, little cottontail, run
|
I hope you both live long enough to see the setting sun
|
|
On a cold winter morning I could look up in the sky
|
And I could see the wild geese fly
|
And on a warm spring day I could look up in the air
|
And I could see the yellow butterfly
|
|
How long has it been since you heard the tiny flutter
|
Of the little wing of a hummingbird
|
And I once saw the picture of a buffalo
|
A thousand in the herd
|
|
Won't you fly, oh eagle fly
|
You better run, little cottontail, run
|
I hope you both live long enough to see the setting sun
|
|
Fly, mister eagle, fly
|
You better run little cottontail, run
|
