lyrics

Small Birds

Have you seen the small birds mob the hawk,
And drive him away x2
Rising, rising, rising, rising x4

Black shadows on the water glistening,
Stop pretending you’re not listening,
Dark currents in the water twisting,
Don’t turn away.

Hear the puppet master muttering,
Now’s the time to stop your stuttering,
Black banners in the city fluttering
Don’t turn away

Have you seen the small birds mob the hawk and drive him away,
Our roots are shared we have one history,
The tree of life in all its mystery
Rising up we pull together
Rising up we shine forever.
