Lily White Peace
The Welcoming Perch of Peace.
The Lord said, that if you believe in peace
you will be at peace
if you believe in peace, and you present your palm to the sky
a white dove would land, on your palm
and accept you, eye to eye
THE DOVE IS FROM UP ABOVE
THE ROOTS OF LOVE AND FERVOR
and cuz' I worked and respected the land
the white dove accepted this workin' man
for he would not sing a song for a devil
and would not fly near, even within 13 feet, of a weasel
THE DOVE IS FROM UP ABOVE
THE ROOTS OF FERVOR AND LOVE
so when I stretched out my palm
and sang my song
the dove flew to my open hand
and landed on my long fingernail
perfectly
and we sang a song at the same time
singing with the dove is holy
like sipping red wine
only a man of peace
can be trusted by
the lily white dove
and she landed on my
outstretched hand
like a butterfly
in love
thus, the white dove means
there is a lord up above
like a rising wisp of white smoke
from a white metal wood stove
the dove is warm,
like a saint's hug.
YOU KNOW THERE IS A LORD UP ABOVE
WHEN YOU GET A HUG FROM A LILY WHITE DOVE.. yep.
