Oh, mighty winged wanderer
soaring over salty seas
colossal feathers beating the sultry breeze
across lands, forests, and mountain passes
you glide and dominate the sky
as your birth right
when darkness descends
you scurry to your nest
to the chicks and the eggs, you have laid
and guard them through the night
with daybreak its again your freedom to flight.
