A tree stands by the water’s edge
Tall and proud and strong
And on a limb there sits a nest
And from this nest a song

It doesn’t sound like much at first
Just chirps and squeaks and cries
But listen closely and you’ll hear
A tale from the skies

It all begins with two young chicks
At their parents’ side
Learning all they need to know
To live and to survive

Fly high and free, and eagle says
Take every chance to dive
Eat many fish so you will grow
And proudly you will thrive

As great bald eagles you are seen
As symbols of a nation
Power, honor, strength we have
Also determination

We have survived throughout the years
Through trials caused by man
And like the people of this land
We always rise again

As long as you are in this nest
There’s no need for alarm
We’ll guard you from all predators
And keep you safe from harm

Soon you’ll fly away from here
And leave this place to roam
But you will come again someday
Because this is your home

And you will tell your own eaglets
Of our nobility
As thermals carry you along
You’ll bear our legacy
