Raven

The sky is where I fly, 
and Raven is my name. 

Watch out for me 
when I come into your realms 
oh Creator, 
for I am a child 
who has seen the darkness 
where nobody should be.

Have pity on me, 
for I have broken my wings 
to see the beauty of life.

Help me get them back, 
so I can again see myself fly, 
where all who see me 
will be helped by my visions.

Creator, help me fly to my destiny, 
so i can see beyond the darkness 
and become proud again to be me.

Where the light will help my spirit, 
and my wellness 
will become my strength....
