They could have (at least) included a picture of the eagle!

I want to fly like an eagle
To the sea
Fly like an eagle
Let my spirit carry me
I want to fly like an eagle
Till I’m free
Oh, Lord, through the revolution

Not the rescued bird, but just an example of an eagle with outstretched wings -- 6 ft. for reference.

Wow! I hope she recovers and can fly again. Sometimes injured eagles cannot go back to the wild, and they are used in education programs at museums and zoos and such.

Isaiah 40:

28Knowest thou not, or hast thou not heard? the Lord is the everlasting God, who hath created the ends of the earth: he shall not faint, nor labour, neither is there any searching out of his wisdom. 29It is he that giveth strength to the weary, and increaseth force and might to them that are not. 30Youths shall faint, and labour, and young men shall fall by infirmity. 31But they that hope in the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall take wings as eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.
