Fm
Midnight Dove
Why do you wander
On through clouded skies?
           D#     A#m
There must be a glimpse
           Fm
Of hope in sight

Fm
Spread your wings
And take to flight
Leave the past behind
     D#        A#m
The dawn will birth
            Fm
A brand new light

    A#m
So fly on and
 C7
Never look
 G#        D#/G      Fm
Back from where you came
    A#m       C7
The sky opens up and it's
 G#     D#/G     Fm
Calling out your name

      A#m
Cause all you got is all
All you got is all
              Fm  D# A#m
All that you need

   Fm
I found myself
D#
Found myself
  A#m
Amongst the thorns and weeds
     Fm
You found yourself
D#
Found yourself
  A#m
Amongst the beautiful trees
                   Fm
And we're not the same
D#                A#m
No we're not the same
                 Fm
No we're not the same
D#                A#m
No we're not the same

              Fm
Cause I gotta blow like the wind
D#
Flow like the sea
A#m
Deep down inside of
Every part of me
   Fm
My heart's been aching
         D#                        A#m
For the freedom to stretch out my wings

         Fm
Now with every move I make
    D#
And every breath I take
A#m
My mind's been worrying
About what's at stake
    Fm                     D#
But I just gotta let them go

          A#m
With the wind
           Fm
Let it all go
           D#
Let it all go
       A#m
Let it all go
With the wind

          Fm
Let it all go
           D#
Let it all go
        A#m
Let it all go
Fm
Midnight Dove
    D#             A#m
Why do you wander on?
