THE RAVEN

THE RAVENMJW
00:00 / 06:24

I am the raven have you heard?
Left out in the cold
and everything that had been taken from me
will be returned seven fold

I put my trust in that these broken wings might fly
though they were clipped in the mourning
they eclipsed the sunlit sky

This nest feels like forever
and it's a long way to the ground, 
I think I'd rather fall from it
then endure this lonely sound. 

Every little day that passes by me in time, 
sitting on this little branch of my own
Maybe there's someone out there that I can call mine,
Then I won't be alone
Maybe there I'll make my home

I am the raven, roaming to and fro
drinking up the waters as I go
And who's like the raven?
in a house that all claims to be wise owls
What do they know?

I'll return to the one who threw me some bread crumbs
a kind soul he has been to me
but all the owls in the house where he from
bring a broom and try to sweep me away from thee

The bread of life is food for thought
and each little crumb I've gathered up
has made me healthy enough again to fly

and to the one who through it to me
despite all the owls in their jealousy
is the one to whom my heart aligns

Every little day that passes by me in time, 
sitting on this little branch of my own
Maybe there's someone out there that I can call mine,
Then I might have a home
Maybe I won't be alone

I am the raven, roaming to and fro
drinking up the waters as I go
And who's like the raven?
in a house that all claims to be wise owls
What do they know?

Every little day that passes by me in time,

drinking up the waters as I go
