I’m a Raven (Shake Children)

Shake, children, shake

Yeah, ring your bell

Go down willing

There's thunder up ahead

Shake, children, shake

Shake your tambourine

Dance for me now

Like you sold your dream

If I had wings like the dove, like the dove

Maybe I could see it as a peaceful world

But hey, I'm afraid I'm a raven

Shake, baby, shake

My little roving jewel

Rally come 'round

My little sunshine girl

Shake, baby, shake

That black country down

I beg your mercy, sister

For the fool that wears the crown

If I had wings like the dove, like the dove

Maybe I could see it as a peaceful world

But hey, I'm afraid I'm a raven

Yonder comes day with the full moon in her eye

I liked the old ways, those mystical times

For blue though they seemed, I sang so easy

Lord, how I loved the outlaw life

Shake, children, shake

Shake your soul

Please break the chain

I could not this time around
