Oh, Hawk by Jeri Katherine Howell and Jasmine Fouts

Jasmine Fouts and I wrote this song quick after an inspiring encounter with a hawk in the Eno River. ✨️ I love how this video captures our love for each other, that hawk, Walter the dog, and music. 💜

Lyrics 🦅
A hawk from the river
Swooped down where we swam
And we looked on in awe
And in wonder
So slow and so fierce
Your wings brushed our ears
And it left us with chests
Full of thunder
Oh, hawk, what’s your name?
Oh, hawk, where’s your game?
Or were you comin’ for me? (x2)
Oh, hawk, when I woke up
I was full of such light
And when you flew by
You could see it
Oh, hawk, what’s it like
To be out in the wild
To bless us with your wings
And your seein’
Oh, hawk, what’s your name?
Oh, hawk, where’s your game?
Or were you comin’ for me? (x2)
Turtle’s are swimmin’ underneath the surface
You were here before all of us
And hawk, you are high above
You send us so much love
Each feather that floats
To the ground
And we love you, we love you
We love you so much
As you love each day
That comes ‘round
Oh, hawk, what’s your name?
Oh, hawk, where’s your game?
Or were you comin’ for me? (x2)
Oh, hawk, won’t you come for me?
