A Asus A
Raven's child is chasing salvation
A Asus4 A Asus A
Black beak turned white from the crack and the snow
A Asus A
On the streets of despair the answer is simple
A G D A Asus A
A spoonful of mercy can set free the soul
D
The drug king sits on his arrogant throne
D A Asus A
Away and above and apart
D
Even children are twisted to serve him
E E A Asus A Asus A
And greed has corrupted what once was a heart
A Asus A
Raven's child keeps vigil for freedom
A Asus4 A Asus A
Trades for the arms that once made her strong
A Asus A
With nuclear warheads and lasers in heaven
A G D A Asus A
Fear does the choosing between right and wrong

The arms king sits on his arrogant throne

Away and above and apart
D
Bankers assure him that he needn't care
E E A Asus A Asus A
And greed makes a stone of what once was a heart
A Asus A
Raven's child is washing the water
A Asus A Asus A
All of her wing-feathers blackened with tar
A Asus A
Prince William shoreline's an unwanted highway
A G D A Asus A
Of asphalt and anger an elegant scar
D
The oil king sits on his arrogant throne
D A Asus A
Away and above and apart
D
Lawyers have warned him he mustn't speak
E E A Asus A Asus A
And greed has made silent what once was a heart
Bm E
Still there are walls that come tumbling down
A F#m
For people who yearn to be free
Bm A
Still there are hearts that long to be opened
D E E7
And eyes that are longing to see
A Asus A
Raven's child is our constant companion
A Asus A Asus A
Sticks like a shadow to all that is done
A Asus A
Try as we may we just can't escape him
A G D A Asus A
The source of our sorrow and shame, we are one
D
The true King sits on a heavenly throne
D A Asus A
Never away nor above nor apart
D
With wisdom and mercy and constant compassion
E E A Asus A Asus A
He lives in the love that lives in our hearts

Raven's child is washing the water
A Asus A Asus A
Raven's child keeps vigil for freedom
