Lyrics transcribed from single recording (lyrics not available on sleeve).

Bird of love

Bird of love
You promise new life
After you condemn to die

Bird of peace
You carry too much
on your back and wings to fly

Time’s running by
Time’s running high
Bird,
Bird I’m looking for
Has to say why
He tells no lie to
humankind

Bird of truth
The colour of your feathers have a touch of gray

Bird of hope
Will our children ever,
ever find their way?

Time’s running by
Time’s running high
Bird,
Bird I’m looking for
Has to say why
He tells no lie to
humankind

[Interlude]

na nana na nana

Bird of truth
The colour of your feathers have a touch of gray
Bird of hope
Will our children ever,
ever find their way?

Time’s running by
Time’s running high
Bird,
Bird I’m looking for
Has to say why
He tells no lies to
humankind

The pawn

I’m a pawn in a game
Just a pawn in a game
Ain’t it a shame
To be on the loosing side

She’s a queen on the board
She just got a King my lord
She controls with the sword
Each and every move I make
Got to get back [her?, up] and save myself
Got to get back [her?, up] and save myself

But a pawn is a king
In the corner of the ring
With the [wearage?] and the fight
You can put a queen up tight

Baby love is a war
Three to five, one to four
I don’t want to play no more
Got to stay on the winning side

You got to get back up
And save yourself
You got to get back up
And save yourself

[Interlude]

You got to get back up
And save yourself
You got to get back up
And save yourself
You got to get back up
And save yourself
You got to get back up
And save yourself
You got to get back up
And save yourself
You got to get back up
And save yourself
You got to get back up
And save yourself
You got to get back up
And save yourself
