Song lyrics Raven by Dave Matthews Band

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, take care of it please, itīs the only one
Well, it will take me a lifetime, old man, to undo what youīve done

Oh, come now boy, what would Jesus do
He shake his head like an angry mother
Spoke the boy and said, "I did what I could"

But you care of it, please
Itīs the only one you got
And itīd take ten lifetimes, boy, to undo what Iīve 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 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 secrets safe with me
Well, I found the truth friend
Let me whisper in your ear
Take good care of it please
Itīs the only one there is
Can I twist it please, can I give it just a little twist

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

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