《Raven’s Child》歌词

[00:00:01] Raven's Child - John Denver

[00:00:16] Raven's child is chasing salvation

[00:00:20] Black beak turned white from the crack and the snow

[00:00:27] On the streets of despair the answer is simple

[00:00:32] A spoonful of mercy can set free the soul

[00:00:38] The drug king sits on his arrogant throne

[00:00:42] Away and above and apart

[00:00:48] Even children are twisted to serve him

[00:00:52] And greed has corrupted what once was a heart

[00:01:03] Raven's child keeps vigil for freedom

[00:01:06] Trades for the arms that once made her strong

[00:01:14] With nuclear warheads and lasers in heaven

[00:01:18] Fear does the choosing between right and wrong

[00:01:24] The arms king sits on his arrogant throne

[00:01:28] Away and above and apart

[00:01:34] Bankers assure him that he needn't care

[00:01:38] And greed makes a stone of what once was a heart

[00:01:49] Raven's child is washing the water

[00:01:53] All of her wing-feathers blackened with tar

[00:02:00] Prince William shoreline's an unwanted highway

[00:02:04] Of asphalt and anger an elegant scar

[00:02:11] The oil king sits on his arrogant throne

[00:02:15] Away and above and apart

[00:02:21] Lawyers have warned him he mustn't speak

[00:02:24] And greed has made silent what once was a heart

[00:02:31] You know there are walls that come tumbling down

[00:02:35] For people who yearn to be free

[00:02:39] Still there are hearts that long to be opened

[00:02:42] And eyes that are longing to see

[00:02:48] Raven's child is our constant companion

[00:02:52] Sticks like a shadow to all that is done

[00:03:00] Try as we may we just can't escape him

[00:03:04] The source of our sorrow and shame

[00:03:07] We are one

[00:03:11] The true King sits on a heavenly throne

[00:03:15] Never away nor above nor apart

[00:03:21] With wisdom and mercy and constant compassion

[00:03:25] He lives in the love that lives in our hearts

[00:03:36] Raven's child is washing the water

[00:03:43] Raven's child keeps vigil for freedom

[00:03:51] Raven's child is chasing salvation

[00:03:59] Raven's child is our constant companion
