Madds Buckley - Hawk in the Night Lyrics

Verse 1:Oh baby bird, I'm glad you don't cry anymoreBe braveOne day, you'll fly, you'll soarBut don't forget where you come fromThe vultures that watch your backVerse 2:Oh baby bird, I'm glad that you quit your chirpingThat songbird shit was worthlessAnd no one would've heard you hacking up a tuneScreeching like a hawk in the skyChorus:Sharpen your talons and fightClaw at the world as it claws out your eyesWe raised you right, hawk in the nightHawk in the nightVerse 3:Oh baby bird, I'm glad, you don't smile anymoreIt means your strongThe weak never have their wings unfurlYou know your placeAt least you're not fighting for scrapsVerse 4:Oh baby bird, I'm glad, that you quit your laughingIt's too loudThat awful bubbly sound that would happen when you were a childScreeching like a hawk in the skyChorus:Sharpen your talons and fightClaw at the world as it claws out your eyesWe raised you right, hawk in the nightHawk in the nightBridge:Oh baby bird, I'm glad, you don't come 'round no moreAnd when you do, there's fire in those eyesYou talk about a friend, a feather's sharpened endAnd plumes stuck in their sideVerse 5:Oh baby bird, the nightingale can't soar like an eagleIts wings are much too fragileIt's weak like its egoBut us, child, you and IWe've got pride on our sideOh baby bird, the hunting birds can live their lives aloneWho needs friends?A dead weight's all that the other birds are made ofSo fight the worldScreech like a hawk in the skyChorus:Sharpen your talons and fightClaw at the world as it claws out your eyesWe raised you right, hawk in the nightHawk in the nightHawk in the nightHawk in the night
