This week, our listeners are a-buzz about Attorney General John Ashcroft's
new blockbuster
hit, "Let the Eagle Soar." And no wonder - it's a hip, heavy
Pentecostal paean with a really great beat. And dig J.A.'s totally phat
vibrato on the chorus! Though we don't have the Spanish translation yet, here are
the lyrics, including the hard-to-find extra verse from the extended re-mix
(currently available only as an import):
Let the eagle soar,
Like she's never soared before.
From rocky coast to golden shore,
Let the mighty eagle soar.
Soar with healing in her wings,
As the land beneath her sings:
"Only god, no other kings."
This country's far too young to die.
We've still got a lot of climbing to do,
And we can make it if we try.
Built by toils and struggles
God has led us through.
Let the eagle soar,
Soar with freedom in her breast
So long as she's appropriately dressed
And not exposing her chest.
As the lands beneath her say
"Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away."
But we shall overcome.
We won't let the First Amendment
stand in our way.
O, let the eagle soar,
but the Bill of Rights ignore
'cause we're in a state of war
Yes, let the mighty eagle soar.
God will also lead you back to the Toad a la Mode menu, if you but ask him.
