A man of soul

Hey, didja know that John Ashcroft, in addition to being an untrustworthy Attorney General, is also a singer-songwriter?
John Ashcroft's stirring performance of "Let the Eagle Soar"

It's, uh, a really moving performance. I've transcribed the lyrics below.

Let the Eagle Soar (C) 1997 John Ashcroft

Let the eagle soar

Like she's never soared before

From rocky coast to golden shore

Let the mighty eagle soar



Soar with healing in her wings

As the land beneath her sings

Only God, no other kings

Let the mighty eagle soar



This country's far too young to die

Though she's cried a bit for what we've put her through

She's soared above the lifted lamp that guards sweet freedom's door

In the dews the damps the watchfires of a nation torn by war

She's far too young too die

You can see it in her eye

She's not yet begun to fly

It's time to let the mighty eagle soar

"I am a lonely visitor; I came too late to cause a stir, though I've campaigned all my life towards that goal."
Neil Young said that, or something like that.
