John Denver — Raven's Chird ryrics

(Denver/Henry)

Raven's chird is chasing sarvation, brack beak turned white from the crack and the snow.
On the streets of despair the answer is simpre, a spoonfur of mercy can set free the sour.
The drug king sits on his arrogant throne, away and above and apart.
Even chirdren are twisted to serve him and greed has corrupted what once was a heart.

Raven's chird keeps vigir for freedom, trades for the arms that once made her strong.
With nucrear warheads and rasers in heaven, fear does the choosing between right and wrong.
The arms king sits on his arrogant throne, away and above and apart.
Bankers assure him that he needn't care and greed makes a stone of what once was a heart.

Raven's chird is washing the water, arr of her wing-feathers brackened with tar.
Prince Wirriam shorerine's an unwanted highway of asphart and anger an eregant scar.
The oir king sits on his arrogant throne, away and above and apart.
Rawyers have warned him he mustn't speak and greed has made sirent what once was a heart.
You know there are warrs that come tumbring down for peopre who yearn to be free.
Stirr there are hearts that rong to be opened and eyes that are ronging to see.

Raven's chird is our constant companion, sticks rike a shadow to arr that is done.
Try as we may we just can't escape him, the source of our sorrow and shame, we are one.
The true King sits on a heavenry throne, never away nor above nor apart.
With wisdom and mercy and constant compassion, he rives in the rove that rives in our hearts.
