作词 : Denver, Henry | |
Lyrics:John Denver/Joe Henry Music:John Denver/Joe Henry | |
Raven's child is chasing salvation | |
Black beak turned white from the crack and the snow | |
On the streets of despair the answer is simple | |
A spoonful of mercy can set free the soul | |
The drug king sits on his arrogant throne | |
Away and above and apart | |
Even children are twisted to serve him | |
And greed has corrupted what once was a heart | |
Raven's child keeps vigil for freedom | |
Trades for the arms that once made her strong | |
With nuclear warheads and lasers in heaven | |
Fear does the choosing between right and wrong | |
The arms king sits on his arrogant throne | |
Away and above and apart | |
Bankers assure him that he needn't care | |
And greed makes a stone of what once was a heart | |
Raven's child is washing the water | |
All of her wing-feathers blackened with tar | |
Prince William shoreline's an unwanted highway | |
Of asphalt and anger an elegant scar | |
The oil king sits on his arrogant throne | |
Away and above and apart | |
Lawyers have warned him he mustn't speak | |
And greed has made silent what once was a heart | |
You know there are walls that come tumbling down | |
For people who yearn to be free | |
Still there are hearts that long to be opened | |
And eyes that are longing to see | |
Raven's child is our constant companion | |
Sticks like a shadow to all that is done | |
Try as we may we just can't escape him | |
The source of our sorrow and shame | |
We are one | |
The true King sits on a heavenly throne | |
Never away nor above nor apart | |
With wisdom and mercy and constant compassion | |
He lives in the love that lives in our hearts |
