the raven and the dove

i have prayed for wisdom

now i pray for peace

it seems the more i know now

the less that i can sleep

stay imprisoned in my conscience

trying to figure what it means

to be caught between a nightmare and the sweetest of dreams

some days a raven

some days a dove

some days the dark cloud hanging round

others from the light above

i'm scuffed by the devil

but i'm washed up in the blood

some days a raven

some days a dove

you may question how i'm living

it might scare you half to death

i've been forgive for my sinning

lord knows i ain't through sinning yet

i get my singing from my mama

i get the fight from my old man

i don't always know where i'm going

but i know exactly what i am

some days a raven

some days a dove

some days the dark cloud hanging round

others from the light above

i'm scuffed by the devil

but i'm washed up in the blood

some days a raven

some days a dove

some days a raven

some days a dove

some days the dark cloud hanging round

others from the light above

i'm scuffed by the devil

but i'm washed up in the blood

some days a raven

some days a dove

some days a raven

some days a dove
