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 unfurled
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 sharpen 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
