We Walk Together

An eagle that can't fly
Is no longer and eagle

A wolf that can't howl
Is no longer a wolf

A man that can't love
Is no longer a man...

I feel of the eagle and of the wolf,
I am the man who has lost his love.

I walk the long dirt road
The wolf by my side
And the eagle on my shoulder

Together we walk
All having lost,
None knowing what the future may hold...
