I have prayed for wisdom, now I pray for peace It seems the more I know now, the less that I can sleep Stay imprisoned in my conscience, trying to figure what it means To be caught between a nightmare and the sweetest of dreams Some days a raven, some days a dove Some days the dark cloud hanging round Others from the light above I'm scuffed by the devil, but I'm washed up in the blood Some days a raven, some days a dove You may question how I'm living, it might scare you half to death I've been forgive for my sinning, Lord knows I ain't through sinning yet I get my singing from my mama, I get the fight from my old man I don't always know where I'm going, but I know exactly what I am Some days a raven, some days a dove Some days the dark cloud hanging round Others from the light above I'm scuffed by the devil, but I'm washed up in the blood Some days a raven, some days a dove Some days a raven, some days a dove Some days the dark cloud hanging round Others from the light above I'm scuffed by the devil, but I'm washed up in the blood Some days a raven, some days a dove Some days a raven, some days a dove
