Stray Raven from Glory Days by The Acousticals

Stray raven, stray raven out in the night
Won’t see your shadow ‘til the morning light
Trying your wings for the very first time
Just to see how high you can climb

Seventeen years of crossed-off days
On calendar pages counting the ways
They’ve kept you in cages with no room to grow
Spread your wings and fly away

Stray raven, stray raven out in the night
Won’t see your shadow ‘til the morning light
Trying your wings for the very first time
Just to see how high you can climb

Four walls in the prison of a shared bedroom
Looking out the window, reaching for the moon
A voice is calling, “Come away with me now”
Spread your wings and fly away

Stray raven, stray raven out in the night
Won’t see your shadow ‘til the morning light
Trying your wings for the very first time
Just to see how high you can climb


Now you’re out on the wire, which way will you go?
Back home through the window, open below?
Or out, beyond, into the unknown?
Spread your wings and fly away

Stray raven, stray raven out in the night
Won’t see your shadow ‘til the morning light
Trying your wings for the very first time
Just to see how high you can climb

Oh, how high can you climb?
