We are not destined to cluck with the chickens or fly with the ducks, but we are destined to soar with the Eagles.

Story behind the song
This a creative song about the parable of the eagle egg that lands in a chicken coop and raised as a chicken, but always realized it was destined for more.
Lyrics
CHORUS
I'm no chicken anymore
I was destined to soar
I have flown the coop
To fly where eagle's do
I'm no chicken anymore
There was a chick that did not look like other chickens do
He knew his destiny was not to live in that chicken coop
Other chickens said that he had plum lost his mind
Because he said, "I'm meant to soar above the clouds so high."
"Who do you think you are to ever say you'll fly so high
A chicken's not to think that way it would our laws defy"
"But you notice I don't look like you, I know there's something more
I know that I don't come from here these wings are meant to soar"
I started to attempt a great takeoff, falling flat on my face
Other chickens ridiculed and scorned at my disgrace
But as I kept on trying to fly to reach the clouds above
Then one day I took to flight and showed those chickens up
I found I was an eagle after all, I was living below my lot
I had a destiny so great that I had almost lost
When I learned to fly above the clouds and storms that brew
I never again desired to go back to that chicken coop
