Taj Weekes & Adowa - Shadow Of A Bird lyrics

see i was born of rape cause my mother couldn't escape see i'm the consequence of war i'm a child of this horror and whose pride am i whose there's no parent to go home to i'm like the shadow of a bird i can't be seen i'm never heard see i was born of rape surely not of love but hate i am that consequence of war no love or romance came before and whose pride am i whose there's no parent to go home too i'm like a shadow of a bird seldom seen and never heard if you can decipher my silence it tells a tale of such violence of anger and of lust and of an entry unjust Anthems of Hope terrorist attacks two wars back to back a hurricane's destruction floods earthquakes and flu color coded fear snow caps disappear bankers robbers money slogans everywhere we need anthems of hope not alarms and warning anthems of hope no alarms no warnings pricey gas per litre there's oil slicks on the water in the desert We were MisleD the king of pop is dead saddam and osama the 44th's obama the environment's not clean buy red live green we need anthems of hope not alarms and warning anthems of hope no alarms no warnings let claps and choruses rise wake the dazed and open eyes wake the town and tell the people that good must conquer evil we need anthems of hope not alarms and warning anthems of hope no alarms no warnings
