Here is is - written by Hap Palmer on his "Witches Brew" album. I gather that the recording came out in 1978.

The Eagle
(Hap Palmer)

Born for a western sky,
Sweeping a circle as he flies.
He was free, when they let him be.

Brave and a hunter's son,
The land was his till he met a gun.
He was free, when they let him be.

In a land without a friend,
Will there be an empty sky,
Where the Eagle used to fly
In the wind?

There on a mountain high,
Wounded Eagle waits to die
He was free, when they let him be.

Dreaming of days gone by
When Indian children
watched him fly,
He was free, when they let him be.

In a land without a friend,
Will there be an empty sky,
Where the Eagle used to fly
In the wind?

Born for a western sky,
Sweeping a circle as he flies.
He was free, when they let him be.
He was free, when they let him be.
