Story Behind the Song
I WROTE THIS SONG THE DAY WE STARTED
THE BOMBING IN AFGANISTAN. IT IS PLAYED
ON SEVERAL WAR SHIPS IN THE GULF. I WROTE
IT IN ONE AFTERNOON, FOR THE TROOPS...

----------------------LYRICS
THERE IS A BATTLE LINE BEEN DRAWN,
PEOPLE OF OUR COUNTRY HAVE BEEN HARMED.
YOU BLOODIED UP OUR SOIL,
INVADED MY HOME.
WERE A MULTI COLORED FABRIC,
THAT YOU JUST MADE TIGHTLY SEWN.
YOU MADE ALOT OF ORPHANS,
LOT OF PARENT'S DID'NT COME HOME.
AND YOU MADE ALOT OF HERO'S
WHEN THEM BUILDINGS' DID'NT HOLD
THE EAGLE SHE IS READY,
SHE'S TAKEN TO THE SKY.
THERE'S A RODENT IN THE DESERT,
WITH NOWHERE LEFT TO HIDE.
THE BIRD OF PREY IS ANGRY,
SHE'S SPOILING FOR A FIGHT.
AND WHEN SHE FINDS THAT RODENT,
SCREAM, TAKE AIM AND DIVE.
IF YOU TREAD ON ONE,
YOU MUST TREAD ON ALL.
BUT YOU WILL NEVER MAKE MY COUNTRY FALL.
AND YOU DIALED UP OUR NUMBER, NOW IT'S TIME
WE RETURNED THE CALL.
I'VE SEEN SOME THINGS I'VE NEVER SEEN,
KIDS WAVING THE FLAG RIGHT DOWN THE STREET.
THERE'S LINES AT THE AIR FORCE,
ARMY, NAVY AND MY MARINES.
AND THE COAST GUARDS' LOOKING SHARP
OUT ON THE SEA.
NOW THEY SAY IT WAS FOR "ALLAH",
MOST TRUE FAITH DON'T AGREE.
SO WE MUST STAY ON TARGET,
AND WE MAKE THE RIGHT ONE'S BLEED.
THE EAGLE SHE IS READY....
