I am a big black raven.
I wonder what time it is.
I hear other birds.
I see a small creek.
I want to be nice.
I am a big black raven.
I pretend I have friends.
I feel happy.
I touch branches.
I worry about food.
I cry about losing my babies.
I am a big black raven.
I understand that the world is free.
I say caw caw.
I dream about friendship.
I try to be nice.
I hope my babies get older.
I am a big black raven.
