Raven
Wolvespirit Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can fly so high, so high
My wings I spread out
I'm touching the silver sky
Flying, flying
I'm a raven
Wings of fire, burning free
In your dreams, I will be
Flying, flying, so high
With the spirit in my wings
I'm touching your silver soul
Over the rainbow, so high
Purple rain is falling down
I'm a raven
On my path, I feel no time, no space
Purple rain is falling down
A vision of a crystal world
Deep in my heart, I’m dreaming for you
Flying, flying
I'm flying so high
Like a raven in the sky, so high
