about

In remembrance of my father, David Charles Wilding, a.k.a. The Dove. These imperfect bodies teach us strength. Transcending imperfection, finding grace.

lyrics

THE DOVE
1
The sky said to the dove:
“I give you 66 years to learn how to love
The dove said to the sky:
“I will break my back and tear out my eyes
But still prove I am love through majestic flight
And a gentle coo in the morning light“

Chorus:
Today is the first day of the rest of your life
Take up your courage, take up your broken spear
And learn to love the fight!

2
The earth said to the rose:
“I give you 66 years to learn how to grow “
The rose said to the earth:
Though my thorns be mangled, petals droop like heavy sighs
It is my quiet strength that abides and inspires life”

Chorus
3
God said to man:
“I give you 66 years to do what you can
Be something great, I’d like to see you try
I’ll take away your freedom, your independence, your will to thrive”
Man said to God:
“Through the broken body you gave me I have learned
I am love not form, boundless beyond time
I am ageless, I am wisdom, I am a vehicle for light!
I don’t need 66 years, I am eternal life

Chorus
