Silver Dove

Hal Cannon © 5/13

On the wings of a silver dove
On the wings of a prayer
It’s the hope of all people
For a life that is fair
Where women walk freely
And hold their heads high
And the rich man keeps only
Enough to get by

CHORUS

SILVER DOVE,
COME TAKE OUR PRAYERS
LIFT THEM TO HEAVEN
AND LIGHTEN OUR CARES
 
Where the leaders are judged
By how much they give
And government’s motto is
Live and let live
Where all God’s religions
Don’t shout so loud
And they all work together
Bringing love to the crowd

CHORUS

Just look in a child’s eyes
Then say there’s No hope
We must take that leap
And fix what is broke
On the wings of the dove
On the wings of a prayer
In the eyes of the children
We’ll find what is fair

CHORUS
