Oh baby bird, I'm glad you don't cry anymore Be brave One day you'll fly, you'll soar But don't forget where you come from The vultures that watch your back Oh baby bird, I'm glad that you quit your chirping That songbird shit was worthless And no one would've heard you hacking up a tune Screeching like a hawk in the sky Sharpen your talons and fight Claw at the world as it claws out your eyes We raised you right Hawk in the night Hawk in the night Oh baby bird, I'm glad you don't smile anymore It means you're strong The weak never have their wings unfurl You know your place At least you're not fighting for scraps Oh baby bird, I'm glad that you quit your laughing It's too loud That awful bubbly sound that would happen when you were a child Screeching like hawk in the sky Sharpen your talons and fight Claw at the world as it claws out your eyes We raised you right Hawk in the night Hawk in the night Oh baby bird, I'm glad you don't come 'round no more And when you do, there's fire in those eyes You talk about a friend Of a feather's sharpened end And plumes stuck in their side Oh baby bird, the nightingale can't soar like an eagle Its wings are much too fragile It's weak like its ego But us child, you and I We've got pride on our side Oh baby bird, the hunting birds can live their lives alone Who needs friends? A dead weight's all that other birds are made off So fight the world Screech like a hawk in the sky Sharpen your talons and fight Claw at the world as it claws out your eyes We raised you right Hawk in the night Hawk in the night Hawk in the night Hawk in the night
