American Dove Songtext / Lyric

Mama, when the moon is done

I walk on by the risin' sun

Wishin' all my dreams for every one



It's been a long time comin' I mean love

Spread your wings and fly American dove



Fifteen and he's seen such bad around

The worse thing when they told him

God was money he broke down

He went wild

He is my (the) universal child



It's been a long time comin' I mean love

Spread your wings and fly American dove






Mama - you ask Am I alright?

Well sure, but Johnnie he (ain't) come home from war

Don't they honor life no more?



It's been a long time comin' I mean love

Spread your wings and fly American dove.



Father, ooh I hear them

They're talkin' in the streets thru the grapevine

Guess I'll go down to meet them

Father I'll never sell my soul

Not this soul of mine



Father it's been a long time comin' I mean love

Spread your wings and fly American dove



Pure as the risin' sun

Tell them the young lord's come (gone)

To bring liberty to every one



Spread your wings

Come on. Spread your wings and fly
