[Verse 1] Mama set the table with a Bible and tea Daddy bowed his head for the red clay dirt and me Sun on the screen door, dust in the beam And I learned to pray before I learned to dream [Pre-Chorus] When the bad days press in tight And the road runs dry and thin I still hear that old soft promise Coming over me again [Chorus] When the dove flies, I know I'm not alone When the dove flies, I can find my way back home Peace comes down, and it stays awhile When the dove flies, when the dove flies (when the dove flies) [Verse 2] I’ve had my share of rocky roads and shame Muddy boots and a heart that called Your name But grace found me where the fields go green Like morning light on a weathered porch swing [Pre-Chorus] When the fear starts calling loud And my hands forget to fold I lift my eyes to heaven And I feel that mercy hold [Chorus] When the dove flies, I know I'm not alone When the dove flies, I can find my way back home Peace comes down, and it stays awhile When the dove flies, when the dove flies (when the dove flies) [Bridge] Let it ride over this weary land Let it rest on a sinner’s hand Send that calm through my restless days Till my whole heart learns Your ways [Chorus] When the dove flies, I know I'm not alone When the dove flies, I can find my way back home Peace comes down, and it stays awhile When the dove flies, when the dove flies (when the dove flies)
