Wounded Doves

Like a wounded dove brought to its knees

Confined to the ground, I see the summit through the trees

Like a wounded dove torn at the wings

Trapped in this cage, I see the summit through the trees

They say this endeavour is a waste of my time

'This world will grind you down just as I'

The world will shake, my grip could slide

I'll find the highest peak, I'll soar the sky so high

Keep me singing, keep me high

Where I can see true beauty for a lifetime

I'll keep on, I'll keep on

Give it all I've got

I'll walk upon the ridges of this mountain top

Eyes to the skies, hands stretched high

Where I can see beauty for a lifetime

Like a wounded dove brought to its knees

Confined to the ground, I see the summit through the trees

Like a wounded dove torn at the wings

Trapped in a cage, I see the summit through the trees

My body lies broken, the journey lies subdued

Keep me singing, dress my wounds

We see the summit, we are the wounded doves

You can't keep us from the clouds above

I'll keep on, give it all I've got

I'm walking on the ridges of this mountain top

Eyes to the skies, hands stretched high

Give me your hands, we are alive

Keep me singing

Keep me high

We are young

And we're alive
