Fly little white dove, fly

I recently discovered a musical treasure that just makes simple-sweet melodies continually buzz in my mind causing me to hum even in moments others may not find all that appropriate for humming. This treasure's name is 'The Bells', a Canadian band that was formed in Montreal in the same year I was born on the old continent. My newest favourite is their hit song from 1970, Fly little white dove, fly.

When we're stuck in troubled days
We must learn to love each other
Instead of going different ways
We must try to get together

Chorus:
Fly little white dove, fly, way up high
Spread your wings, sing out your cry
'Cross the universal sky

If we love the Human race
Peace should be your aspiration
Let’s make this a better place
Spread the word to every nation

[Chorus]

When a simple word is spoken
It should be our guiding light
If vows for peace are never broken
Then the whole world will unite

[Chorus]
(repeat until fade)
