[Verse 1]
I was walking through the parking lot
Coffee cold and my courage gone
Gray sky hanging like a question mark
Wondering why I should carry on
Then you drifted down beside my shoe
Little heartbeat wrapped in white
Tilted head like you already knew
I’d been losing every fight
[Chorus]
Beautiful dove
You just stood there breathing
In a world that hurts
You were still believing
Tiny wings
But you felt like meaning
You made the broken air feel kind
Beautiful dove
In the dead of morning
You turned my endings into a warning
That I was giving up too early
You put the color back in my mind
[Verse 2]
Cars rolled past
You didn’t even flinch
Just one feather on the dirty ground
I held my breath
Felt my fingers twitch
At the thought of sticking around
You blinked once like a little nod
Stepped in circles
Then you flew
Left me staring at the empty spot
With a suddenly possible view
[Chorus]
Beautiful dove
You just stood there breathing
In a world that hurts
You were still believing
Tiny wings
But you felt like meaning
You made the broken air feel kind
Beautiful dove
In the dead of morning
You turned my endings into a warning
That I was giving up too early
You put the color back in my mind
[Bridge]
Now when the dark gets heavy
And the long nights crowd my chest
I see you standing in that concrete sea
Just quietly insisting on rest
[Chorus]
Beautiful dove
You just stood there breathing
In a world that hurts
You were still believing
Tiny wings
But you felt like meaning
You made the broken air feel kind
Beautiful dove
When my hands were shaking
You gave my tired heart a second waking
I still repeat that little moment
You gave me hope for staying alive
