Lyrics

The Grackle Sings
Written by Charles Milton Gaby

What got you out of bed today

What were the first words
You had the urge to say

What were the first thoughts

That played through your mind?


Was it anything you ever really chose or

Fight or flight until you froze 
Round and round and round it goes

Until you find out

Why the grackle sings

Is it love or fear

Puffing up your chest

Did you have to be the best

Or fold your hand

Did you go with 
the back up plan
All along


That holy Moses In your mind

That makes the rules
And sets the fines

And you pay them every time

With your dread


Until you find out

Why the grackle sings
 
Is it love or fear
Puffing up your chest

Did you have to be the best

Or fold your hand

Did you go with
The back up plan
All along
