Release The Doves



Everywhere it's heard,
There is a need for peace.
And tired of the fighting wars,
Wanted to cease.
Yet on the increase seen is division.
Between all races taught this to teach.
Because of skin colors,
And religious beliefs.

But...
Where are the doves?
Release is needed more doves.
A whole lotta doves.
People need to have more love,
For doves.

Pigeons around everywhere to see.
All kinds of birds flying high freely.
Even eagles and vultures given labels of this.
And that.
One that represents strength,
And the other flies the sky known to attack.
Descending down to snack off flesh,
From neck to back.

But...
Where are the doves?
People are in need to see doves.
To remind them of love.
People should see a lotta doves.
To remind them of what love was!

We, the people, are in need to see,
These days especially.
More love.
And a whole lotta doves.
To remind us what love was.
Doves.
The symbol of love.

We need more love.
A whole lotta love.
And doves!
To remind us of what love was.

Release the doves.
A symbol of love.
What has happened to doves?
To remind us of what love was!
We need a whole lotta love.
We need a whole lotta love.
What more needed could be love.
To remind us of what love was.
Release the doves.
The only symbol of what love was!

Release the doves.
Release those doves.
The only symbol of what love was.
Release the doves.
Everybody is in need of hugs!
