Why Can’t I Fly On The Wings Of A Dove?
I look and see a bird fly by
and I wonder why I can not fly
I ask my God in heaven above
Why can’t I fly on the wings of a dove?
I see that bird dip and swirl — free as can be
and I wonder why I can not fly if only to be free
I ask my God in heaven above
Why can’t I fly on the wings of a dove?
God in answer sent to me
a little birdie who was not free
I asked my God in heaven above
to give this bird the wings of a dove.
Now this birdie swoops and sings
he’s blessed on me angles wings
Yet I ask my God in heaven above
Why can’t I fly on the wings of a dove?
But God, he had plans for me
I felt that I would never be free
God promised me if I would praise his name in song
everything I ever wanted to me would belong.
So now praises to my God above I sing
because I know for me awaits a golden harp and angel’s wings
I no longer ask my God above
Why can’t I fly on the wings of a dove?
