Snake on the sand, underneath the sky,
red back down and white belly high,
waiting for the eagle to take him to paradise.
Snake on the sand, underneath the sky,
red back down and white belly high,
waiting for the eagle to take him to paradise.
Shadow flickered over the sand,
eagle called down, circling in:
âwhy donât you hide? Where is the chase?â
âI donât wanna get caught up in someone elseâs race.
I know my role, I know my place. I know what this is, why resist it?
I know how this ends, Iâll just close my eyes.â
âWhy donât you wait another day? No white belly up to the sky.
Iâll let you lie.
âWhy donât you wait another day? No white belly up to the sky.
Iâll let you lie,â
and down by the river, a snake swam sneakily by the eagleâs eye,
and up by the tree, I think about the course
and I am willing to try.
Then the eagle, passing, called out to his brother:
âIt was a hot and wretched day, yeah,
and I didnât see nothinâ.
No, I didnât see nothinâ.â
