White, White Dove Lyrics - Steve Harley

Rose and Cross - so is the battle lost? 

Is there now no time to jive? 

Rose and Cross - you know the price it's cost? 

But the hope is still, the hope is still alive 

Rosicrucius - is your story told? 

Or is there still more to come? 

Rosicrucius - from my simple soul 

I shall eat the morning, eat the morning sun 

Chorus: If I was ordered not to travel another mile 

If I was told I could never see another city 

There is one thing I'll always hold, that's the smile 

Of the symbol that is peace, the white, white dove 

Rose and Cross - can we ever toss 

All our prejudice aside? 

Rose and Cross - turn this petty loss 

into hope and glory, hope and glory with pride? 

Rosicrucians - paint your symbols fair write your verses in the sand 

Rosicrucians - you missed Baudelaire 

But we still extend, we still extend our hand...
