~LOOKING DOWN~

~SigCity~

I'M LOOKING DOWN FROM UP SO HIGH
WONDERING WHY THE WORLD CRYS

I AM FREE,

WHY CAN'T PEOPLE BE LIKE ME?

I DO MY JOB, EVERYDAY
KEEP MY KIDS SAFE, INTRUDERS AWAY

HELP MY MATE IN ALL SHE DOES
DON'T WORRY, ABOUT A THING, THAT WAS

DON'T GO BACK IN TIME AND SPACE
ONLY FORWARD WITH EASE AND GRACE

I SEE THE WORLD THROUGH EAGER EYES
SHARP AND CLEAR, NOT THROUGH LIES

THE QUIET COOLNESS OF THE FOREST
THE TIDES RISING ON THE SEAS

DEER STANDING ON A MOUNTAIN
BIG BUCK KEEPING WATCH
DOE WITH A FAWN, BARELY BIG ENOUGH TO WALK

A WHALE BLOWING WATER
SMALL BABY AT HER SIDE

HORSES RUNNING WILD
STUDS FIGHTING FOR THEIR PRIDE

I LOOK DOWN AND SEE ONLY DANGER
LITTLE HAPPINESS TO BE FOUND

WARS AND KILLING ALL AROUND
TEARS FALLING ON THE GROUND

CHILDREN NOT SAFE, IN A BIG BAD WORLD
GLAD I DON'T HAVE TO TRED THROUGH THE CROWDS

I GO BACK TO MY HOME ON THE MOUNTAIN TOP
WHERE PEACE REIGNS SUPREME

BEAUTY IS EVERLASTING
AS THE RAIN WATERS THE TREES

RAIN FROM THE EYES OF ANGELS
CRYING FOR THE EVIL I SEE

SO THIS IS MY STORY
HOW I LOOK AT THINGS

THROUGH THE EYES OF AN EAGLE
LOOKING DOWN
WHILE FLYING WITH ANGELS FROM HIGH ABOVE
WISHING YOU COULD LIVE LIKE ME.
