raven

In the beginning there was only Raven

Coal-black feathers in a cold black night

Raven beat his wings in the empty air

Turned the darkness into land where the people could live

And gave them the golden gift of the earth

Ga-ga-ga cried the mighty Raven

In the beginning when the world was young

Powerful and strong, the great creator

Flying high in the sky, watcher and protector

Ga-ga-ga cried the mighty Raven

Beating his wings in the morning sun

Ga was the cry, ga-ga, and the world

Was a better and a brighter place for everyone

In the beginning all the world was darkness

No light shining in the hateful gloom

Everyone on earth living cold dark lives

Till the Raven put the moon and the stars in the sky

And gave them the golden gift of the sun

Ga-ga-ga etc

In the beginning there were no fresh waters

No clear rivers for the people to fish

Nothing else to eat but the roots and leaves

Till the Raven made the lakes and the rivers and seas

And gave them the golden gift of the fish

Ga-ga-ga etc

Sing Raven, bring us light

Sing Raven, bring us life

Sing Raven, bring us joy

Sing Raven, bring us love
