Doves are released
Everyone’s smiling from ear to ear
Doves are set free
People can’t hold in their tears
Doves are liberated
They can finally escape their fears
Doves are let loose
They’re singing to the lord
Doves are emancipated
They no longer follow the drinking gourd
Doves are unchained
They have finally found home
