White Eagle
by Oden Fong

Album: Come for the Children

I was born in a valley of tall slope and cliffs
But now he's in so high it covered the sky
And my dad told me "Son, when you are a man
You must climb up the mountain as high as you can

So I followed the trails of some great men of old
Who had scaled great heights through the rock and the snow
Who had carved their initials in the ground and the trees
Who had died on the road and their story was told

Chorus:
Hey! White Eagle, He flies
Right in front of your eyes, but you're blinded
Hey! He's a-coming again
He's gone missing my friend
Till He comes to take us away

So I climbed and I climbed ten miles high
And I looked far above me and there was the sky
It's to lure me before me the mountains so tall
And there way below me the valley so small

Chorus

Up from the mountains (up from the mountains)
Up from the valley (up from the valley)
Up from green mountains (up from green mountains)
From the Death Valley
Higher, higher, higher
