"Stars Among Leaves (In His Own Words)" lyrics - AVATAR

AVATAR
"Stars Among Leaves (In His Own Words)"

With her precious nest hidden far from the world
Her sadness and fear bred hatred for that bird
Eagle sang songs, so bright, sharp and strange...
Was he telling the truth when he sang of the change?

The Owl would not let him have everything burn
This wasn't his kingdom and it wasn't his turn!
She was sure he was false and was making up lies
And to prove who was righteous she'd gather the Eyes

Night never sleeps, no it's never at ease
There's always a listener, someone who sees
Owl knew where to find them and anger them all
And she knew how to make them honor their call

To the land hidden beneath crooked trees
And to make tiny whispers reach far in the breeze
"Wake up, forest creatures! You must come and fight!
An Eagle has come here! He challenged our Night!

"Don't let him think for a moment that we
Stand aside for a stranger and cower and flee!"
Lights started glowing, like stars among leaves...
The Eyes of hunters, wild ones and thieves
