Flying high, flying free,

Over Earth, over Sea;

I flee my foe, I fail the test -

I'm flying home to Falcon's Nest.

 

The stars are bright, the night is vast;

By spells of light are shadows cast.

My wings are worn; I need to rest.

I'm flying home to Falcon's Nest.

 

Who am I?  I cannot talk!

Am I a man, or a Sparrowhawk?

Who am I?  You know best.

Safe at home in Falcon's Nest.

 

My shadow came, and I turned tail.

If I flee again, I'm bound to fail.

So as the sun sets in the West,

A hunter flies from Falcon's Nest...
