The Desert Sage
  WHERE EAGLES FLY DICK BANNER
  Today I climbed where Eagles fly
A pinnacle that stabbed the sky
A rock on which no foot has set
A dare to get
A challenge met.

As I stood upon the crest
Satisfied I was the best
Around me soared an Eagle rare
How high I'd climbed he didn't care
He had no limit, except the air.

A whisper from his pinions came
As though the wind had called his name
He caught a draft and disappeared
Above me in the stratosphere
He'd gone, I knew not where.

But I'd have traded lives with him-----
Then and there////
