Hawk In The Night

Oh baby bird, I'm glad you don't cry anymore
 Be brave
 One day you'll fly, you'll soar
 But don't forget where you come from
 The vultures that watch your back
 Oh baby bird, I'm glad that you quit your chirping
 That songbird shit was worthless
 And no one would've heard you hacking up a tune
 Screeching like a hawk in the sky
 Sharpen your talons and fight
 Claw at the world as it claws out your eyes
 We raised you right
 Hawk in the night
 Hawk in the night
 Oh baby bird, I'm glad you don't smile anymore
 It means you're strong
 The weak never have their wings unfurl
 You know your place
 At least you're not fighting for scraps
 Oh baby bird, I'm glad that you quit your laughing
 It's too loud
 That awful bubbly sound that would happen when you were a child
 Screeching like hawk in the sky
 Sharpen your talons and fight
 Claw at the world as it claws out your eyes
 We raised you right
 Hawk in the night
 Hawk in the night
 Oh baby bird, I'm glad you don't come 'round no more
 And when you do, there's fire in those eyes
 You talk about a friend
 Of a feather's sharpened end
 And plumes stuck in their side
 Oh baby bird, the nightingale can't soar like an eagle
 Its wings are much too fragile
 It's weak like its ego
 But us child, you and I
 We've got pride on our side
 Oh baby bird, the hunting birds can live their lives alone
 Who needs friends?
 A dead weight's all that other birds are made off
 So fight the world
 Screech like a hawk in the sky
 Sharpen your talons and fight
 Claw at the world as it claws out your eyes
 We raised you right
 Hawk in the night
 Hawk in the night
 Hawk in the night
 Hawk in the night
