Unique Is My Dove Lyrics
On the way into this world, our soul was torn in two
Searching for you, I've been searching for you
Where ya been? Where ya running to?
Where ya got to go? What do ya got to do?
I don't care where we're going, I just wanna be with you
Put your head on my shoulder, tell me what you've been through
When I lose my focus you remind me of the truth
Lift us up to the heavens for a bird's eye view
One woman for me, other half of my soul
You're my queen
One woman for me, other half of my soul
Roots of my tree
We could forget about galus for awhile
Our troubles for awhile
Sometimes I look at you and just smile
Sit in a park… just laugh all day
Sometimes I just lose it with the things that you say
Waiting by the subway, but we missed the train
We’ll take the next one if you can pull me away
Keep me cool, down to earth and no anxiety
Stay modest with a humble heart always
One woman for me, other half of my soul
You're my queen
One woman for me, other half of my soul
Roots of my tree
We don’t need no umbrella when we’re walking in the rain
Sunlight, dark clouds- it’s all the same
Don’t need no umbrella when we’re walking in the rain
So smart and sharp- oh so lovely
Inner beauty, shine bright- yes you’re there for me
Keep the ways of our fathers how it used to be
Moving forward don’t mean erase our history
Look to your ways and see a girl who wants to do the right thing
Dedicated to a life bigger than you or me
Build a temple in our hearts for his Majesty
Stay simple, serve God, then keep our deeds clean
One woman for me, other half of my soul
You're my queen
One woman for me, other half of my soul
Roots of my tree
Searching for you, I've been searching for you
Where ya been? Where ya running to?
Where ya got to go? What do ya got to do?
I don't care where we're going, I just wanna be with you
Put your head on my shoulder, tell me what you've been through
When I lose my focus you remind me of the truth
Lift us up to the heavens for a bird's eye view
You're my queen
One woman for me, other half of my soul
Roots of my tree
Our troubles for awhile
Sometimes I look at you and just smile
Sit in a park… just laugh all day
Sometimes I just lose it with the things that you say
Waiting by the subway, but we missed the train
We’ll take the next one if you can pull me away
Keep me cool, down to earth and no anxiety
Stay modest with a humble heart always
You're my queen
One woman for me, other half of my soul
Roots of my tree
Sunlight, dark clouds- it’s all the same
Don’t need no umbrella when we’re walking in the rain
Inner beauty, shine bright- yes you’re there for me
Keep the ways of our fathers how it used to be
Moving forward don’t mean erase our history
Dedicated to a life bigger than you or me
Build a temple in our hearts for his Majesty
Stay simple, serve God, then keep our deeds clean
You're my queen
One woman for me, other half of my soul
Roots of my tree

great love song, with some god references as well
This might be a really stupid idea (especially since I mostly just took the "One woman for me ..." part into consideration), but could he be singing from Jesus' perspective and be referring to the Bride of Christ (the church) when he talks about the woman? Like I said, I didn't really read far into it, so this could be a really stupid idea, so please don't flame me =)
I don't think it'd make much sense for a devout Jew like Matisyahu to make a love song from Jesus' perspective.
I agree with Erik, but I can see how it could be interpreted that way.
He really just wrote this song for his wife.
i like when he says bap pa yo yo yo!
Naw, Beef, I'm going to have to agree with Erik on this one too. But I do believe your at least half right. It's kind of like the Song of Solomon, where the the poem was commonly thought to be directed towards the Jewish nation. People are pretty much split down the middle on this, as I think could be the case here with this song. You had many scholars believe that King Solomon wrote his poem as simply a provocative poem written for his bride. The other half of these scholars believed that the Solomon wrote the poem with the Jewish nation in mind. I seriously doubt that Matisyahu was singing this with Jesus in mind, however, I do believe that it may have been just as metaphorical as the Old Testament's Song of Solomon may have been.
