Birds & Sleeping Dogs ft. Jorma Kaukonen Lyrics

I need to wake up with my dreams Firmly in my hand

I wont lose them all to someone's Grander plan

Some have tried to decide where I Must stay or I should  go

This is my country  too and I will Plant my seed and grow

Hawks don't sing and some birds Don't fly

Nor do they envy one another

Or care to wonder why

People need to stop and maybe Think about that twice

And let birds be birds and let Sleeping dogs lie

It's the thrill seeker in me who can't Resist that leap of faith

Knowing life is much too short

To Play it safe and just go straight

No I wont fret away or hideaway Nor will I pine

Gonna  get on that bus and ride

Go seek so I may find

Hawks don't sing and some birds Don't fly

Feels real good when someone ask Me where I'm going

That I can point to all four corners

And l still get to where I'm going

I don't care how long it takes or if The sun goes down before I reach

I know my choir will be waiting When I arrive to hear me preach

Hawks don't sing and some birds Don't fly

Nor do they envy one another

Or care to wonder why

People need to stop and maybe Think about that twice

And let birds be birds and Let Sleeping dogs lie
