INHERIT THE EARTH [words and music Nick Taylor]

Just before the dawn .. one early early morning
I went out along the hill above my hometown Must’ve been a holiday .. All was silent on my way Not a single bell rang out .. from the sleeping town
One lonely dove .. cooed out a song From way across the valley
First one then two, before I knew Thousands cooed in harmony

And all around the world was singing And everywhere the sound was ringing A song without a word and yet I heard The meaning loud and clear
Oh the eagles may fly high and wide But the doves shall inherit the earth
And when the power of words is broken The meaning of the world unspoken
A song so loud and clear we all shall hear The meek will show the way
Oh the eagles may fly high and wide But the doves shall inherit the earth
Instrumental verse 2nd half
And when the guns of war have thundered And when the dogs of war have plundered When nothing more remains and silence reigns The meek will show the way
Then the eagles may fly high and wide
But the doves shall inherit the earth
