Eternity Songs - SERPENT AND THE DOVE (feat. TREY HILL) Lyrics

Papa always said
There'd be times the world would try its hold on me
We'd sit there on the front porch in the moonlight
By the weeping willow tree
The crickets in the garden
Were singing lullabies
He'd lift his hands to Heaven
With the full moon in his eyes
He'd say, "There's sunlight and there's shadows
Be as wary as a serpent
Be as gentle as a dove
Walk the straight and narrow
And do everything with love
Cause the world can break your heart
But love can make you whole
It can bring you to your knees
It can change your very soul
Be as wary as a serpent
Be as gentle as a dove
Walk the straight and narrow
And do everything with love
I left my home and family
Looking for the answers on my own
And the times I thought I'd found the truth
I'd always end up stumbling all alone
With darkness closing in on me
And nowhere left to turn
I'd remember Papa
And the things he hoped I'd learn
He'd say, "There's sunlight and there's shadows
Be as wary as a serpent
Be as gentle as a dove
Walk the straight and narrow
And do everything with love
Cause the world can break your heart
But love can make you whole
It can bring you to your knees
It can change your very soul
Be as wary as a serpent
And gentle as a dove
Walk the straight and narrow
And do everything with love
Walk the straight and narrow
And do everything with love
Cause there's nothing quite as powerful as love
