The Strength of Doves

I still believe that we can win.
I’m not ashamed of having hope.
I hold myself accountable.
I’m not afraid to look into
A stranger’s eye and see a friend.

I still believe that we can win
I’m not afraid of this Victory

to keep the fight, but still celebrate
this life of ours, your mother’s name,
the way we sing, the way we dance,
these flying bikes, our holding hands.
I pray with work, I pray with truth.

I still believe – that we can win
I’m not afraid – of this Victory
the opposite – of apathy
I’m not ashamed – of having Hope
I will embrace – the Strength of Doves

I still believe that we can win
I’m not afraid of this Victory!
the opposite of apathy
I’m not ashamed of having Hope!
I will embrace the Strength of Doves
yes, there’s a way – but what we want…
it may not come within our lives
we may not beat this raging tide!

Yes, there’s a way, but what we want
it may not come within our lives.
we may not beat this raging tide,
but that don’t mean that we won’t fight.
but that don’t mean that we won’t fight!

I still believe that we can win
I’m not afraid of this Victory
the opposite of apathy
I’m not ashamed of having Hope
I will embrace the Strength of Doves.
