Dave Matthews Band

Raven

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

Well you take care of it please - it’s the only one

Well it would take me a lifetime old man to undo what you’ve done

To undo what you’ve done

Oh come on now boy think what would Jesus do?

He 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 – 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

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 he was leaving

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 your sure

You never know it all the ground beneath is nothing more than my point of view

Boy shrugged walked away

The man stood and watched as he was leaving

Boy just walked away

The 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 hoping 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
