Dolly Parton — Olive Branch

People talk too much, and yet so little's said We're all so out of touch, it's hard to move ahead We're all so self-absorbed, we don't know how to be We need a leaf, a sprig, or twig from that great living tree We all need an olive branch We all need a second chance In this world of happenstance We all need an olive branch Let's make the most of life, add to it what we can Do more than just survive, reach out and take command Be willing to forgive ourselves and others too And love thy neighbor as thyself, God loves us when we do We all need an olive branch We all need a second chance In this world of happenstance We all need an olive branch A little help from up above A little push, a little shove Heavens knows we need to love Grab that branch He's handing us 'Cause we all need an olive branch We all need a second chance In this world of happenstance We all need an olive branch Oh, we all need an olive branch And we deserve another glance Another glance of sweet romance Oh, we all need an olive branch We all need an olive branch We deserve a second chance In this world of happenstance We all need... Oh, we all need an olive branch An olive branch
