Mourning Dove

(Christopher Van Name)

In memory of Sydney Aiello, a Parkland shooting survivor. Sydney took her own life at 19. She couldn’t live knowing she was spared and so many of her friends and classmates weren’t. When will we make it stop?

Mourning Dove
You couldn’t find your way
You couldn’t find your way
Back home

Mourning Dove
Somehow you lost your way 
Somehow you lost your way
Now you’re all alone 

You circled high above 
In search of those you loved
Hoping they’d return and set you free
But when they lost their wings
You could no longer cling
To a world whose heart you couldn’t see

Mourning Dove
I know you couldn’t stay
I know you couldn’t stay 
Anymore

Mourning Dove
You had to fly away 
You had to fly away
Forevermore 

You circled high above
In search of those you loved 
Hoping they’d return and set you free 
But when they lost their wings
You could no longer cling 
To a world whose heart you couldn’t see

Mourning Dove 
You had to fly away 
I know you couldn’t stay 
Anymore 
I know you couldn’t stay
Anymore
