O that I had
The wings of a dove
To rest on me
To fly back with
A branch in its beak
And rescue me
So I scale up the oars
And find what I have known
That I won't last alone
For long
It's hard for me
Cause I don't like defeat
I'll give up this captain seat
To you
O that I had
The wings of a dove
To rest on me
To fly back with
A branch in his beak
And I am free
This is not new to me
As I sit in this boat
But I'm so cold my bones
Will freeze
And there's naught through the haze
I've been waiting so long
But my hour has gone
Away
O that I had
The wings of a dove
To rest on me
To fly back with
A branch in his beak
And rescue me
He navigates
When oceans rise
He reminds me
To lift my eyes
O that I had
The wings of a dove
To rest on me
