If I had wings of a dove
Far, far away
Would I fly and hide away
To be at rest
If I could wing above,
So far on high
And be free to steal away
And be at rest
Dona nobis Domine perpetua in saecula
Dona nobis Domine perpetua in saecula pacem
If I could wing above,
So far on high
And be free to steal away
And be at rest
Dona nobis Domine pacem
Dona nobis Domine pacem
Dona pacem
For everything above
Across the sky
Can be free to soar on high
And be at rest
Dona nobis Domine perpetua in saecula
Dona nobis Domine perpetua in saecula pacem
Exaudi orationem dona Domine
Exaudi orationem dona nobis pacem
If I could wing above
So far on high
And be free to steal away
And be at rest
Dona nobis Domine pacem
Dona nobis Domine pacem
Dona pacem
If I had wings of a dove
Far, far away
Would I fly and hide away
To be at rest
Be at rest
Be at rest
