THE CROW IN THE SKY Music and Lyrics by BlackBRD Recordings copyright 2014 In blackened fields with blood in their roots Grow ancient seeds from strange, bitter fruits Dark, ripened crops twist on the vine A dangerous harvest – high walls must confine The modern farm worked by the modern slave No one can help, and no one can save So straighten up boys, you best behave Lest you become a modern-day slave. Fed by schools – that are built to fail Can’t find a job – so it’s off to jail Young lives spent, turn old and gray Put profits first; that’s the American Way So, take all their rights, set them up to fail Repeat on their kids, send them all to jail But must they pay too for their captors’ sins? When so many lose, nobody wins. Is Justice blind? Or has she just turned her head? Is she deaf to their cries, blind to the dead? We live in a world blind to color and race Blind to injustice staring right in our face So, lift up your eyes to the Crow in the sky Staring down on the crops, as they wither and die. Yes, lift up your eyes to the Crow in the sky Staring down on us all as we wither and die. youtu.be/TQkzF5ErX0A
