NIGHTHAWK (Revised)
WRITTEN BY: TOMMY PARHAM/TIA MCGRAFF

VERSE 1
I’M LOOKIN’ UP FROM A HARD PLACE
MERCY FOR MY SOUL
FEELS LIKE I’M CAUGHT IN A WIRE CAGE
GETTIN’ COLD

THE TWILIGHT FALLS THROUGH MY WINDOW
A SHADOW COMFORTS ME
A NIGHT HAWK DIVING, SOARING,
SHE’S SO FREE

FLY NIGHT HAWK FLY
WHY NIGHT HAWK WHY

Verse 2
JUST YESTERDAY I FOUND YOU
WOUNDED ON THE GROUND
THOSE FEATHERS COULDN’T LIFT YOU
NOT LIKE NOW

I HEARD YOU OPEN YOUR THROAT AND
FAIL AN EERIE TUNE
IT BROKE MY HEART, I FELT JUST
LIKE YOU
SING NIGHT HAWK SING
TRY NIGHT HAWK JUST TRY


Verse 3
HOW CAN SOME THINGS GET SO BROKEN
WE CAN’T FIND OUR WAY
UNTIL WE SHARE WITH ANOTHER
SOME KINDA PAIN

I DON’T KNOW IF YOU KNOW JUST HOW
MERCY LIFTED YOU
BUT I WATCHED YOU FIND YOUR WINGS AND
I WILL TOO
FLY NIGHT HAWK FLY

AND SING NIGHT HAWK SING
I’LL TRY NIGHT HAWK TRY
