eagle and dove

in God we trust but
under the eagle we live
full of peace and prosperity
we got too much to give
we say it's our right
sent to us from above
raise our hands to the eagle
and shoot down the dove

so we say
close your eyes and pray
thank God for the eagle
and all the food that he kill
eat and drink to your health
amass and hoard your wealth
don't look back in history
or around you, you don't wanna see

wounded but hopeful
the dove is alive
watch as she carries
green life that will thrive
in the barest of places
if only you'll plant it
she'll teach you how
if your heart understands it

eagle and dove

which one will you love?
eagle...
dove...
