You came floating by

Wings never missed a beat

Colors bold and bright

Blue and gold and green

You know you could stick around

You don’t have to leave

My hummingbird love

Won’t you stay with me please

My hummingbird love

I’ll try not to scare you away

My hummingbird love

Begging for you to stay

My hummingbird love

I’ll try not to scare you away

My hummingbird love

Don’t you think you could stay

I want you to myself

Don’t want you to move

But staying in one place

Isn’t what you do

There’s melody in your eyes

Passion in your plume

My hummingbird love

I am in awe of you

My hummingbird love

I’ll try not to scare you away

My hummingbird love

Begging for you to stay

My hummingbird love

I’ll try not to scare you away

My hummingbird love

Don’t you think you could stay

My hummingbird love

Sit with me my child a while

I’ll tell you of the things that make me smile

Tales of my roots below

The wandering paths where wildflowers grow

The birds and their symphony

There is freedom in the way they laugh and sing

The buzzing of a happy bee

Dancing — and liltin’ in the breeze

When you feel like you can’t win

And you don’t know where to begin

The trenches seem too high

There’s nothing but clouds in the sky

Somewhere down below

Your roots are starting to grow

Sit in the garden

Give the weeds a pardon

And maybe let the flowers tend to you

Sit beneath a fading day

And let the worries gently slip away

I know this life asks much of you

But for tonight there’s nothing left to do

There’s always work left to be done

But we can’t fight the setting of the sun

Cozy up and rest your eyes

As the moon is singing in the skies

When you feel like you can’t win

And you don’t know where to begin

The trenches seem too high

There’s nothing but clouds in the sky

Somewhere down below

Your roots are starting to grow

When you feel like you can’t win

And you don’t know where to begin

The trenches seem too high

There’s nothing but clouds in the sky

Somewhere down below

Your roots are starting to grow

Sit in the garden

Give the weeds a pardon

And maybe let the flowers tend to you

It’s a long way down she said

I’ve only ever seen it from a far

I know the path that lies ahead

The blue expanse, a diamond light

It’s a long way down she said

Stepping close up to the edge

Nature takes a morning breath

Urgent wind is at her back

Mother gave me wings to fly

But fear it took away the sky

I know I need to take a step

But it’s a long way down she said

--- Fly --- I won’t know if I don’t

--- Try --- It’s a long way down but

--- Fly --- So I’ll meet you in the

--- Sky ---

It’s a long way down she said

Feel the tug of war inside

Safer in these walls I know

Watch my brothers as they soar

It’s a long way down she said

I’ll put my trust into the wind

Spread my wings against the sky

I didn't know that i could

--- Fly --- I won’t know if I don’t

--- Try --- It’s a long way down but

--- Fly --- So I’ll meet you in the

--- Sky —

….

You found yourself uneasy

The storm it won’t subside

You’ve thinking about the rain

As it’s pouring down inside

From your office window

You can’t feel the wind

But the emptiness is growing

In your little space within

You know – that something has to change

You throw the doors aside

And let the sunshine reign

On the heart of every fallow tree

That could find its leaves again

The winter it may come

But Spring follows in its wake

Put your hands to the earth

Feel the heat of summer days

And oh you know —-- something has to change

So, you grow

Little by little

Heart in hand

And you grow

Little by little

Heart in hand

So before you shut the window

Before you think the worst

See the flowers of every color

Rising up from the same dirt

We are not divided

In classes or in scenes

Could we just call each other

Fellow human beings

And oh you know —-- something has to change

And you grow

Little by little

Heart in hand

And you grow

Little by little

Heart in hand

….

We sit in small boxes, cookin’ down news

All sorts of wild fantasy, stirring up views

Flavors of truth told from echoes on high

Confusion and illusion hide in plain sight

What news on the Rialto I heard them cry

Old pagan fires light up the sky

Good neighbors they charm us with a vinegar smile

A hummin’ and a drummin’, while truth is on trial

There is more that binds us, more than pulls us apart

In the darkness there is kindness there is life

In these moments we are holding, holding on too tight

Is there more to living than being right

So, burn down these walls that keep us apart

Let's stand in the fire, throw down your heart

New life begins as ember light dies

Deep from the ashes a new moon will rise

There is more that binds us, more than pulls us apart

In the darkness there is kindness, there is life

In these moments we are holding, holding on too tight

Is there more to living than being right

Over the ditch and into the wilds

Cross through shadows for miles and miles

To a place where silence sings

And chorus bells of freedom ring

You set off strong, you set off proud

In search of gold that can’t be found

Buried deep within your heart

It’s been with you from the start

You’ve been looking wide and far

Maybe the gift of life is living

The treasure is the quest

What if the truth in every legend

Is you can only try your best

What if you threw away the compass

Crumple up the map

Pick a postcard for your mother

And follow your own path

I know you’ve been here before

Feeling less but you’re wanting more

The journey onward calls your name

Through the field of shadow and pain

So call the darkness, call the light

Ignite the beacons of hope tonight

Feel the pull within your soul

It’ll tell you where to go

Search your heart, you already know

Maybe the gift of life is living

The treasure is the quest

What if the truth in every legend

Is you can only try your best

What if you threw away the compass

Crumple up the map

Pick a postcard for your mother

And follow your own path

You take off your shoes

Twirling around in the long grass

High in the hills

I watch you melt into the sunset

You’re warm like the summer

You’re bright like the sky

You’re all of the things that I need in my life

Dance like nobody's watching

Laugh like our hearts are free

Sing like nothing else matters

I’m alive with you and you’re alive with me

Memories of empty pursuits

Searching for meaning

A man in a mask

Who never knew what he was feeling

You showed me the summer

You showed me the sky

You showed the things that i need in my life

Dance like nobody’s watching

Laugh like our hearts are free

Sing like nothing else matters

I’m alive with you and you’re alive with me

Dance like nobody’s watching

Laugh like our hearts are free

Sing like nothing else matters

I’m alive with you and you’re alive with me

Remember all those moments you'd take back

The corner of your heart you painted black

When you look into the mirror and there’s no one else around

Who are you?

Are there any second chances left

Or is a first impression all we get

There’s a need for forgiveness

A time for owning up

And it’s now

I believe in us my dear

I believe in us

I believe in us my dear

Maybe that's enough

As kids we played together one for all

Grown up we play it cool and build our walls

We could be building bridges

On that little piece of hope

That rises up and never dies

I believe in us my dear

I believe in us

I believe in us my dear

Maybe that's enough

I believe in us my dear

I believe in us

I believe in us my dear

Maybe that's enough

I believe in love my dear

I believe in love

I believe in love my dear

That is and always was

I believe in love my dear

I believe in love

I believe in love my dear

Maybe love's enough
