The Crow That Wanted To Sing

The Crow That Wanted To Sing

(album: I've Got A Yo Yo - 1997)

There once was a crow his friends called him Joe
And black were his back and his wing
And all of the other crows laughed at him so
For Joe really wanted to sing
A simple “caw, caw” wasn't music enough
For feelings Joe felt deep inside
So in spite of the laughter he heard every day
Joe flapped his wings and he tried
He went: “Caw, caw, caw caw”
Joe gave it the best he had
But “caw, caw, caw, caw”
I'm sorry to say it was bad
The other crows cawed, they laughed and they guffawed
To hear poor Joe trying his best
And though all their jeers nearly brought him to tears
He bravely went on with his quest
For Joe was a dreamer, and he dared to dream
That one day he'd stand in the ring
And hear a vast hush as the world fell silent
For the crow that wanted to sing
He went: “Caw, caw, caw, caw”
Though he gave it the best he had
“Caw, caw, caw, caw”
I'm sorry to say it was bad
One day in his tree, in his worst misery
Joe wondered just why he'd been born
His nest was a sight, his feathers a fright
His good heart felt tattered and torn
Then his wife and his children all gathered around
As evening stars twinkled above
They nestled themselves warmly under his wing
And they said, “Daddy tell us of love”
And as Joe thought of how he felt full of love now
And of all the joy love could bring
A miracle happened in that willow tree
A crow really started to sing
He sang, “Love, love, love is the answer”
He sang in a voice so clear
“Love, love, love is the answer
And love is the reason we're here”
He sang, “Love, love, love is the answer”
He sang in a voice so clear
“Love, love, love is the answer
And love is the reason we're here”
There once was a crow his friends called him Joe
And black were his back and his wing
His message to you is that dreams can come true
For Joe finally learned how to sin
