by Phil Goldvarg
The eagle is not down,
he's in a different sky,
wings still moving
against the currents of injustice,
there is no death for this peaceful warrior,
he looks down on us,
his quiet fire eyes say,
tu eres mi otro yo,
you are me,
I am you,
somos juntos
en la tristeza de la noche,
en la felicidad
del dia,
the eagle is not down,
he's in a different sky
y los chuecos,
the greedy growers,
the legislators
who legislatre los farmworkers
and their ninos to death
are shaking in fear,
they know there's going to be
some serious huelgas
in heaven and hell,
sabes que, hermano,
the eagle is not down,
he's in a different sky,
there is no death
for this peaceful warrior.
