Brother rook, and brother raven, tell us what you know
Your secret trickster, share your burden, and spare us from the crow
The raven’s smart, almost human, prays to the god of a man
The owl is wise, but not deserving
Where have you been my feathered friends?
The birds, the birds, all sing together
The birds, the birds, look down from heaven
The birds, the birds, fly home from the North
The bird will inherit the earth
The bird will inherit the earth
I had a dream, I had a vision
A fallen angel, he spreads his sins
He’s heading our way, he’ll walk among us
Unrighteousness is all he’ll bring
He’s gonna run and smile and thrashes his wings
Old Jim Crow shall show his y--
Things that claws go scratch and the beaks go chatter
As he fought to the earth, flapping his flappers
The birds, the birds, all sing together
The birds, the birds, look down from heaven
The birds, the birds, fly home from the North
The bird will inherit the earth
The bird will inherit the earth
Bunch of a feather, stick together (x4)
Fly home, fly home (x2)
The birds, the birds, fly home from the North
The bird will inherit the earth
The bird will inherit the earth
