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 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 come 'round no more

And when you do, there's fire in those eyes

You talk about a friend, 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 the other birds are made of

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
