lyrics

I’m Only a Dove

Everybody wants me, to bring, the peace 
But I’m only a dove I wish I could ease 
The pain hatred brings, here, on this earth 
But I’m only a dove 
They call me the symbol of peace 
A hope for the future 
But I’m only a dove What can a bird like me do, anyway?

 I’m only a dove I fly to wherever, winds carry, my wings 
Above lofty mountains,  
Over the blue sea
 If I could talk to the angels, I would I’m only a dove 
Won’t you, come fly, with me I’m only a dove
 Won’t you, come fly, with me

 The sky is my home, I’m free to soar I’m only a dove I wish I could sing
 Songs of love people need Here on this earth I’m only a dove
 Olive branch in my beak 
A symbol of hope I’m only a dove 
What can a bird like me do, anyway?

 I’m only a dove I fly to wherever, winds carry, my wings 
Above lofty mountains,  
Over the blue sea
 If I could talk to the angels, I would 
I’m only a dove 
Won’t you, come fly, with me I’m only a dove
 Won’t you, come fly, with me

 Maybe today 
Maybe someday 
We can start to plant  
The seeds of love 
Maybe today 
Maybe someday 
We can bring an end to war
