Raven Songtext
von Dave Matthews

What you got what you got in your hand?
A father said to son
I got the whole world here Daddy
Between my fingers and my thumb

Will you take care of it please?
It′s the only one
Well it would take me a lifetime
Oh man, to undo what you've done
To undo what you′ve done

Oh come on now boy think what would Jesus do?
He'd shake his head like an angry mother
Spoke the boy and say I did what I could do
But you take care of it please
Like it's the only one you got
And it′d take ten lifetimes boy
To undo what I′ve done


Boy shrugged walked away
The man stood and watched as he was leaving
Boy just walked away
The man stood alone thinking

One hand is bleeding and the other hand holds a gun
While everything is open everything is shut down, down, down
Begin to ending is really just a go round and round and round
And as I stand here, the ground beneath
Is nothing more than one point of view

What you got what you got in your hand?
Your secret's safe with me
Well I found the truth friend, let me whisper in your ear
Take good care of it please
It′s the only one there is
Can I twist it please can I give it just a little twist

Boy shrugged walked away
The man stood and watched as boy disappeared and
Boy just walked away
The man stood there twisting


One hand is bleeding and
The other hand holds a gun
Everything is open now everything
Is shut down, down, down
No one is holding even if you even if you're sure
You never know it all the ground beneath
Is nothing more than my point of view (yeah, yeah)

Boy shrugged walked away
The man stood and watched as leaving
Boy just walked away
Man stood there twisting

One hand is open and the other hand holds the gun
Everything is open now is everything coming down, down, down
No one is holding on, even if you, even if you know
You never know it all - nothing more than
Nothing more than my point of view

Boy shrugged walked away
The man stood and watched as he was leaving
The man stood there twisting
