THE EAGLE STILL FLIES (UNDER STAR SPANGLED SKIES)

A NEW ANTHEM FOR AMERICA

The sun came up this morning

Over a land still brave and free

Its borders still strong and standing

Against all tyranny

It seems just yesterday-I remember so well

As the morning dew slept on the towers that fell

The skies were so clear, the sunlight so bright

But evil’s conscience couldn’t sleep

And was awake through the night

And everyone can recall when they first heard the news

And no one was sure how much more we would lose

Then, through the ashes, the smoke, and the flame

We realized this country would never be the same

The towers left standing

Are the towers within

The twin towers of liberty and freedom, my friend

Perched on top of these towers, the eagle will rise

To bring peace and justice to the world’s crying eyes

And the eagle still flies

Under star spangled skies

And we still trust in God

But we won’t spare the rod

And we still say the pledge

Faith and courage

Give us the edge

And the eagle will soar

‘Cause we’re free evermore

From the hills to the shore

Yes! We’re free evermore

The eagle still flies under star spangled skies

And our hope never dies

‘Cause the eagle still flies

Nations will rise

Buildings will fall

But there’s still one nation standing

That will answer the call

And we won’t run and hide

In our flag we still take pride

‘Cause freedom will win

Liberty we’ll defend

Through the smoke, through the fire

The wings of justice fly higher

Over canyon and tundra and treetops and sand

The fires of freedom’s victory have been fanned

From the streets on our soil

To lands across the sea

On freedom’s wings we will ride

For the whole world to see

The strength, the power, of liberty

And the eagle still flies

Under star spangled skies

And we still trust in God

But we won’t spare the rod

And we still say the pledge

Faith and courage give us the edge

And the eagle will soar

‘Cause we’re free evermore

From the hills to the shore

Yes! We’re free evermore

The eagle still flies

Under star spangled skies

And our hope never dies

‘Cause the eagle still flies
