Verse 1

Like the eagle flies
In the dark of night
Far out of sight
Never to return

Chorus A
And when the smoke clears
Will the people cheer,
Got to face the facts
We can’t turn back
Oh no We can’t turn back, we can’t turn back

Verse 2
It’s like the river flows
It’s from the winter snows,
As the cold wind blows
Don’t have far to go.

Chorus B
And will the children sing,
In the morning sun,
Have we just begun, just begun
Do we realize, all the fear in their eyes
Just what have we done, what have we done

Verse 3
It’s for the common good
It’s where our fathers stood
How can we sleep at night
We’ve got to make it right

Chorus C
Dreaming a false hope,
Is it insanity,
Or just hypocrisy
All in the name of peace

Down a slippery slope
Just how will we cope
We’re at the end of line
The end of the line

Verse 4
A mighty fortress
To many sins to redress
It’s anybody’s guess
Whether we’ll succeed

Chorus D
It’s the harvest moon,
Not enough food
Not enough to go around,
To go around, oh
The Indian Summer comes
Just when we think we’re done,
But we’ve just begun, just begun

Verse 5
It’s just a tiny slice,
A minor sacrifice
In the big scheme of things,
To end the suffering.

Chorus E
It’s the harvest moon,
Still not enough food, to go around, to go around
The Indian Summer comes
And we think we’re done,
But we’ve just begun, just begun

Verse 6
And then the eagle flies
In the darkest night
Far out of sight
Never to return.
