Eagle When She Flies

(Dolly Parton)



She's been there, God knows she's been there, she has seen and done it all

She's a woman, she knows how to dish it out or take it all

Her heart's as soft as feathers, still she weathers stormy skies

And she's a sparrow when she's broken but she's an eagle when she flies.



A kaliedoscope of colors, you can toss her 'round and 'round

You can keep her in your vision but you never keep her down

She's a lover, she's a mother, she's a friend and she's a wife

And she's a sparrow when she's broken but she's an eagle when she flies.



Gentle as the sweet magnolia, strong as steel, her faith and pride

She's an everlasting shoulder, she's a leaning post of life

She hurts deep and when she weeps, she's just as fragile as a child

And she's a sparrow when she's broken but she's an eagle when she flies.



She's a sparrow when she's broken but she's an eagle when she flies

Oh bless her Lord, she's an eagle when she flies...
