I'm a Raven (Shake Children)

Oh shake, children, shake
Yeah, ring your bell
Oh, go down willing
Yeah, there's thunder up ahead

Yeah, 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

Yeah, 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 the 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, yeah

Shake, children, shake
Shake your soul
Please break the chain
I could not this time around
