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
