… HOME OF THE BRAVE

Bald EagleIn the far canyons of time
Eagle flies
carrying the vision of Liberty
in fierce eyes.

The One eagle!
born in a war of Revolution
so long ago.

Warrior bird
protector of a sacred dream
in the silence of the sky.

A quiet blue valley
where heroes go
and Eagle flies with them.

Knows what old soldiers know…!
that the ones who remain forever strong
forever young
are the real heroes.

Ones we remember
that Eagle remembers
So brave!

The real heroes
who never return
home.
