Fly on High Bird

A man of wisdom and intelligence 

Earning bachelors,doctorate, and masters degrees 

But your destiny still felt uncomplete in your eyes 

Fly on High Bird 

Your calling was war chief 

You began this journey by leading a war party through the siegfried line

disarming and subduing a man A man bigger and stronger than yourself 

Now well passed half way along the way 

Fly on High Bird

Your final act you believed would never come and began to quit 

But when cornering a german unit you noticed the fifty horses in their possession 

You in a daring act of bravery and courage mounted one of fifty horses and cut them free 

Now dawn falls upon your actions and this dawn is special for it is the dawn of a new war chief
