I pretended to be a raven and I tried to befriend a crow.
I left him shiny treasures, set perfectly in row.
He gave me no thank yous, glaring fiercely and unmoved
Waiting for my exit, to investigate his loot.
Each day, I would mimic his calls or his cries
But his head only tilted, suspicion in his eyes
One day I braved the tree tops, to put on a show
A feather to feather,
A raven to a crow
But a crow knows his kin and a raven's disguise
He leaves me behind, to sail through the skies
Still I leave him shiny trinkets, loyal till the end
Sometimes dreams live on, if only for pretend.

I pretended to be a raven and I tried to befriend a crow.
I left him shiny treasures, set perfectly in row.
He gave me no thank yous, glaring fiercely and unmoved
Waiting for my exit, to investigate his loot.
Each day, I would mimic his calls or his cries
But his head only tilted, suspicion in his eyes
One day I braved the tree tops, to put on a show
A feather to feather,
A raven to a crow
But a crow knows his kin and a raven's disguise
He leaves me behind, to sail through the skies
Still I leave him shiny trinkets, loyal till the end
Sometimes dreams live on, if only for pretend.
