John Denver
Raven's Child

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 shorelines
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



Mirror lyrics:


That lives in our hearts
He lives in the love
And constant compassion
With wisdom and mercy
Never away nor above nor apart
On a heavenly throne
The true King sits

We are one
The source of our sorrow and shame
We just can't escape him
Try as we may
To all that is done
Sticks like a shadow
Raven's child is our constant companion

And eyes that are longing to see
That long to be opened
Still there are hearts
For people who yearn to be free
That come tumbling down
You know there are walls

What once was a heart
And greed has made silent
He mustn't speak
Lawyers have warned him
Away and above and apart
On his arrogant throne
The oil king sits

An elegant scar
Of asphalt and anger
An unwanted highway
Prince William shorelines
Blackened with tar
All of her wing-feathers
Is washing the water
Raven's child

What once was a heart
And greed makes a stone of
That he needn't care
Bankers assure him
Away and above and apart
On his arrogant throne
The arms king sits

Between right and wrong
fear does the choosing
And lasers in heaven
With nuclear warheads
That once made her strong
Trades for the arms
Keeps vigil for freedom
Raven's child

What once was a heart
And greed has corrupted
Are twisted to serve him
Even children
Away and above and apart
On his arrogant throne
The drug king sits

Can set free the soul
A spoonful of mercy
The answer is simple
On the streets of despair
From the crack and the snow
Black beak turned white
Is chasing salvation
Raven's child
