Raven's Child - John Denver[00:00:01]

Raven's child is chasing salvation[00:00:16]

Black beak turned white from the crack and the snow[00:00:20]

On the streets of despair the answer is simple[00:00:27]

A spoonful of mercy can set free the soul[00:00:32]

The drug king sits on his arrogant throne[00:00:38]

Away and above and apart[00:00:42]

Even children are twisted to serve him[00:00:48]

And greed has corrupted what once was a heart[00:00:52]

Raven's child keeps vigil for freedom[00:01:03]

Trades for the arms that once made her strong[00:01:06]

With nuclear warheads and lasers in heaven[00:01:14]

Fear does the choosing between right and wrong[00:01:18]

The arms king sits on his arrogant throne[00:01:24]

Away and above and apart[00:01:28]

Bankers assure him that he needn't care[00:01:34]

And greed makes a stone of what once was a heart[00:01:38]

Raven's child is washing the water[00:01:49]

All of her wing-feathers blackened with tar[00:01:53]

Prince William shoreline's an unwanted highway[00:02:00]

Of asphalt and anger an elegant scar[00:02:04]

The oil king sits on his arrogant throne[00:02:11]

Away and above and apart[00:02:15]

Lawyers have warned him he mustn't speak[00:02:21]

And greed has made silent what once was a heart[00:02:24]

You know there are walls that come tumbling down[00:02:31]

For people who yearn to be free[00:02:35]

Still there are hearts that long to be opened[00:02:39]

And eyes that are longing to see[00:02:42]

Raven's child is our constant companion[00:02:48]

Sticks like a shadow to all that is done[00:02:52]

Try as we may we just can't escape him[00:03:00]

The source of our sorrow and shame[00:03:04]

We are one[00:03:07]

The true King sits on a heavenly throne[00:03:11]

Never away nor above nor apart[00:03:15]

With wisdom and mercy and constant compassion[00:03:21]

He lives in the love that lives in our hearts[00:03:25]

Raven's child is washing the water[00:03:36]

Raven's child keeps vigil for freedom[00:03:43]

Raven's child is chasing salvation[00:03:51]

Raven's child is our constant companion[00:03:59]
