Raven's Wings

went walking on the mountain
I was hoping to find
A path leading up and out of my troubled mind
Too distracted for discussion
Too tired to say a prayer
Just grateful to put my foot down and find solid ground there

I want to let my head hang heavy
Let my heart just sing
Someday I'm gonna get me
A pair of raven's wings

I've been having conversations
About will and desire
Sometimes you gotta stoke it, sometimes you gotta fight the fire
And I've been listening to the forest
And I'm tryin' to learn
Cause it knows when to rest and when to let itself burn

I want to let my head hang heavy
Let my heart just sing
Someday I'm gonna get me
A pair of raven's wings

With a pair of raven's wings
That's how I want to sing
With a pair of raven's wings
Someday I'm gonna sing

I love to watch the ravens
Making spirals in pairs
It's feathers and faith meeting the grace of the invisible air
They just fling themselves wide open
And jump into the sky
It's a radical trust that gives us the freedom to fly

I want to let my head hang heavy
Let my heart just sing
Someday I'm gonna get me
A pair of raven's wings

With a pair of raven's wings
That's how I want to sing
With a pair of raven's wings
Someday I'm gonna sing

I want to let my head hang heavy
Let my heart just sing
Someday I'm gonna get me
A pair of raven's wings
