A Thousand Doves

Winter is here on the roofs of the village.
The sky is white
and I hear the children's choir
in the old church
singing over an organ ripe with age.
 
Peace be upon the world
for the next hundred thousand years.
Give us a thousand doves
for all the rising suns.
Give us a thousand doves
and millions of swallows.
Bring us a day that all men
become children again.
 
Tomorrow is us, and tomorrow, no more war.
Tomorrow, everywhere, the guns will sleep under flowers.
A pretty world is a world where you live without fear.
 
To you!
 
Peace be upon the world
for the next hundred thousand years.
Give us a thousand doves
for all the rising suns.
Give us a thousand doves
and millions of swallows.
Bring us a day that all men
become children again.
 
All together!
 
Peace be upon the world
for the next hundred thousand years.
Give us a thousand doves
for all the rising suns.
Give us a thousand doves
and millions of swallows.
Bring us a day that all men
become children again.
