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
