Ravens child 
Is chasing salvation 
Black beak turned white 
From the crack and the snow 
On the streets of despair 
The answer is simple 
A spoonful of mercy 
Can set free the soul 
 
The drug king sits 
On his arrogant throne 
Away and above and apart 
Even children 
Are twisted to serve him 
And greed has corrupted 
What once was a heart 
 
Ravens child 
Keeps vigil for freedom 
Trades for the arms 
That once made her strong 
With nuclear warheads 
And lasers 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 neednt care 
And greed makes a stone of 
What once was a heart 
 
Ravens child 
Is washing the water 
All of her wing-feathers 
Blackened with tar 
Prince william shorelines 
An unwanted highway 
Of asphalt and anger 
An elegant scar 
 
The oil king sits 
On his arrogant throne 
Away and above and apart 
Lawyers have warned him 
He mustnt speak 
And greed has made silent 
What once was a heart 
 
You know there are walls 
That come tumbling down 
For people who yearn to be free 
Still there are hearts 
That long to be opened 
And eyes that are longing to see 
 
Ravens child is our constant companion 
Sticks like a shadow 
To all that is done 
Try as we may 
We just cant escape him 
The source of our sorrow and shame 
We are one 
 
The true king sits 
On a heavenly throne 
Never away nor above nor apart 
With wisdom and mercy 
And constant compassion 
He lives in the love 
That lives in our hearts
