when the sun rose this morning
in a breath of orange and blue
it was sign, not a warning
today brings something new

its time to find the reason
to answer all the whys
for this is now the season
to put away the cries

chorus
i saw a dove in the sunrise today
alone on an iridescent sky
confidence in a humble way
carrying all the reasons why

a warm wind blew across the field
and kissed my chilly cheek
oh these wounds will soon be healed
strength’s returning to the weak

the wind blew warm a tender kiss
so much like the feeling of love
that’s the feeling that i miss
kissed by a little dove

chorus
i saw a dove in the sunrise today
alone on an iridescent sky
confidence in a humble way
carrying all the reasons why

ignored are answers all around
in a world so busy with greed
see the world hear its sound
there’s more than want and need

reasons held to a blazing sunrise
by a tiny little dove
that answer all of the whys
its carrying the power of love

chorus
i saw a dove in the sunrise today
alone on an iridescent sky
confidence in a humble way
carrying all the reasons why
