Jayber Crow - The Limited Voice of the American Crow lyrics

O my voice, made not for beauty, sing the song that you have given to sing Simple it may be The day will dawn adorned in song, hallelujah, lifted up on wing Open up your beak Open up your beak Open up your beak and be not quieted by other birds Every tongue so moved to sing is heard And O my body made for shadows, dappled darkness shields me from the day Hides me from the sight Of those that soar in falcon form and spread their wings and watch on high for prey Robbing me of flight Robbing me of flight Robbing me of flight, the sunlight calls through all the whisp'ring leaves The wind moves through my feathers silently Glory, glory, O my soul sings glory, gloria Glory, glory, O my soul sings glory, gloria Glory, glory, O my soul sings glory, gloria Glory, glory, O my soul sings glory, gloria O my spirit started screaming, stirs me like a ceaseless wind in trees Gathers in my throat Leaves and boughs and haunted sounds, my beating wings rip through the canopy And into open air above me O the singing of the sunlight, O creation stretches to the sky, Fills us up with sound O the talon rips my body, I can taste the blood as feathers fly Falling to the ground Falling to the ground Falling to the ground Falling to the ground and as my body plummets to the earth The forest sings and through it rings a simple verse Glory, glory, O my soul, glory, gloria Glory, glory, O my soul, glory, gloria Glory, glory, O my soul, glory, gloria Glory, glory, O my soul sings glory, gloria
