The eagle who was scared to fly
And thought why go high when down here I can just lie
The potential of these wings
Surpasses what my expectation brings
But its only the day I leave the nest
That what I have been taught gets put to the test
Its such a big jump for someone enjoying the rest
The wind is blowing; the senior eagle bids me come
And tells me its no longer the season for just getting fed by mum
He told me that in all that season of training
It was for this call that was the reason
So hesitantly I lift the wings
And felt the raise that the wind brings
Enraptured by the senior call
I left the nest half expecting to fall
Only to find the wings lifted me high
Up into the sky upon a thermal wind of grace
I realized what keeps those who truly run the race
With my eyes upon the one who called
I found my destiny being fulfilled
That it wasn’t the nest what was best
It just felt that way because of the rest
But once left and put all to the test
I say to all, obey your upward call
