On the lift of the wind
Rides a red-tailed hawk
What a high it must be
As she looks down upon us
Will she smile or cry
Will she be proud of what she sees?

Land going gone so fast
And rivers run dry
Man killing man so fast
She wonders why

And when god asks, "How they doin'?"
Will she say, "They're doin' OK"
Or will she wipe a tear and fly away

As she soars across the sky
And casts a shadow on the sun
What freedom she must feel
It's amazing we were given
Such beauty and majesty
And yet we've treated it all so carelessly

But we'll die trying some of us
To keep you in flight
So please don't give up on us
It's an endless fight

And when a god asks "How they doin'?"
Will you say "They're doin' OK"
Or will you wipe a tear and fly away

Dear friend
Sometimes
I wish you'd take me on your ride
But I'm not sure I'd like what I'd see

Land going gone so fast
That I wanna cry
Man killing man so fast
And I wonder why

And if god asked me how we're doin
Could I say we're doin' OK
Or will I wipe a tear and fly away
Let me wipe your tears
Don't fly away
