The Dove

[Verse 1] The storm cloud hangs on the hill The thunder rolls through the plain And there goes that little bird still She’s winging her way through the rain The buzzard stirs in his gloom The jackal stalks through the shade But clearing the dim edge of doom The dove makes her way on the brave [Pre Chorus] There goes the dove On through the day There goes that little bird Winging her way [Chorus] Over the dove Way up on high There is a rainbow Spanning the sky Over the dove Way up on high There is a rainbow Spanning the sky [Verse 2] The rocket lights up the way And sears her wings with its flame And night burns bright as the day The dove soars along just the same The guns sound off with a blast And snarl at the dove on its course But there she goes faithfully past And braves the full burst of the force [Pre Chorus] There she goes On through the day There goes that little bird Winging her way [Chorus] Over the dove Way up on high There is a rainbow Spanning the sky Over the dove Way up on high There is a rainbow Spanning the sky [Verse 3] The people stir on the land They lift up their face to the sky To see if the dove is at hand And watch her go breathlessly by The father stands with his son The sister and brother are there They lift up their heads every one The sound of their voice fills the air [Pre Chorus] There she goes On through the day There goes that little bird Winging her way [Chorus] Over the dove Way up on high There is a rainbow Spanning the sky Over the dove Way up on high There is a rainbow Spanning the sky [Verse 4] The mother rich with her child The lover lost in her love To welcome the feathery mild The sure the invincible dove And dreams of such things to be The wind at peace with the waves And the land at peace with the sea And the brave at peace with the brave [Pre Chorus] There she goes On through the day There goes that little bird Winging her way [Chorus] Over the dove Way up on high There is a rainbow Spanning the sky Over the dove Way up on high There is a rainbow Spanning the sky
