Come, see the dove that brings reliefs
In pains and griefs He brightened me
For most of time I swam in tears
He flew just then as sent to me
Sang the song that echoed peace
And brought bright hope for days ahead
Come, see the dove.

The dove in fact, I still recall
A day so dark with fears and wants
My mum was sick, that wearied me
Thoughts and doubts my visions blurred
Then calmly flew above my head
Come, see the dove.

The dove is One, the Creator’s work
To suit the heart with peaceful coo
Kill Him not then so wrongfully
Derive relief from nature’s flow
His powers refresh, revive and heal
You change your views that’re nature’s foe
Come, see the dove.
