When a Hawk Comes By

I am waking up by a heavy thud
And I wonder what it is, it's a little odd
On a big city lane, is it true what I see?
A hawk landed in my window pane
What did you come here to change?
A sign they say, when a hawk comes by
Fly me away to the tallest mountain
From these heights, I can focus now
In an air-tight space, I feel comfortable
Every object in my room, I can control
Inconvenience comes when a stranger is announced
Simple question: What do I want?
What did you come here to change?
A sign they say, when a hawk comes by
Fly me away to the tallest mountain
From these heights, I can focus now
Fly me away to the tallest mountain
From these heights, I can focus now
I can still remember, your watchful eye
And the marks in the wood that you left behind
It is true what they say, no one goes unchanged
In their lives, when a hawk comes by
