The sharpest eye in animal world
is said this bird does own,
He sees a mouse between the rocks
no matter how high he’s flown.
**
He is a predator, of beauty and strength
a symbol of power to all,
when he circles the skies with majestic pride
and is always successful in haul.
**
Unexpected, hidden and in shocking speed
he falls out of the big blue skies,
there’s not the slightest chance to escape
when his screaming doomed prey dies.
**
He is family bound, this beautiful creature
doing for kids whatever he can.
He will hunt and protect, no matter what costs
to protect his kids and his clan.
**
A symbol for humans, for us who admire
this fantastic animal who is our sign
for hope, for pride, for solidarity
a strong picture who shows us to shine.
**
With his white head and tail, his chocolate wings
his strength and his power are pure and true;
a symbol, a guidepost for our country’s hope
the epitome of the Red, White and Blue!
