..morning at last! every night is a fight till you're waking dreams dancing past through the silence of sleep dawn is breaking I wake and watch them till then and I am not like other birds of prey and I am not like other birds of prey
oh, night is long, you won't needing me for a dressed up time I am there to see that fear holds no sway
soft is my plan and my eyes kill the lies that felt happy life is my right and in sleep's little bed I'll protect you so, hear, let my presence dismay that I am not like other birds of prey that I am not like other birds of prey
when hopes are young and your cares are few then I'm sure above keeping truth in you. and my name is love
