Lyrics
Take time for your pleasure
And laugh with love
Take the hand of another
And sing for the wings of a dove
Whoa, whoa, for the wings of a dove
Whoa, whoa, for the wings of a dove
Look up at the rooftops
When you're walking 'round
Don't think for a moment
Of looking down
Whoa, whoa, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
For the wings of a dove
Whoa, whoa, for the wings of a dove
Whoa, whoa, for the wings of a dove
Whoa, whoa, for the wings of a dove
Hellelujah, hellelujah
Look up at the rooftops
When you're walking 'round
Don't think for a moment
Of looking down
A room at the top
Where we're not allowed
Cheer to the echo
Can you hear the sound?
Whoa, whoa, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
For the wings of a dove
Whoa, whoa, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
For the wings of a dove
Whoa, whoa, for the wings of a dove
Whoa, whoa, for the wings of a dove
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Whoa, whoa, for the wings of a dove
Whoa, whoa, for the wings of a dove
Whoa, whoa, for the wings of a dove
Whoa, whoa, for the wings of a dove
