Story behind the song:
This is one of my oldest songs yet the lyrics and message of the song still seem very true and relevant today.This song was written from a place of sadness about all the senseless killing in the world and a plea to the leaders of the world to seek out beauty and love in their lives instead of greed, power, control and profit. It's my own feeble attempt to get people to stop and realize that we all only have a small amount of time on this rock and to spend it in ways that will breed kindness, selflessness and harmony with the world around us. Good grief! I sound like a hippie! :)
Lyrics
A wish on a star
a prayer on a pillow
by light of the moon
the song of a sparrow rings
all the white doves are falling
our weapons are words
our peace is a lie
as long as the distance
between you and I is far
all the white doves are falling
oh can you hear their song
heaven knows where we are going
so take some time and watch the
roses slowly fade then disappear
while you’re still here
‘cause we all disappear
a lesson in history
a thought for us all
our heartful intentions
lost in the fall
I wish on the stars
these tears on my pillow
are there to remind me
to pray for your soul
all the white doves are falling
oh can you hear their song
heaven knows we’re runnin’ on empty
so take my hand let’s find some beauty
in this place while we’re still here
while we’re still here
‘cause we all disappear
