lyrics

HUMMINGBIRD

Little hummingbird can I talk to you
I think that you might know what I’m going through
And there's so much your life and song can teach
To a lost soul vagabond like me

We had no time to say goodbye.
Your wings were made to fly – high

Fly high in the sky little hummingbird
Wrap your wings and love all around the world
You'll never fly so far that you won't be - in our memory
Fly high in the sky let your spirit soar
Taste the freedom that you never had before
And you'll always be - the little hummingbird

Little Hummingbird you came to be
Much more than a safety net to me
A guiding light, a friend a kindred smile
There’s something so familiar in your eyes

We had no time to say goodbye.
Your wings were made to fly – high

Fly high in the sky little hummingbird
Wrap your wings and love all around the world
You'll never fly so far that you won't be - in our memory

Fly high in the sky let your spirit soar
Taste the freedom that you never had before
You'll always be - the little hummingbird, little hummingbird

And some day when they ask how I survived
I'll tell the tale of the day you saved my life
I'll show them all the light you shone on me
I'll paint a vision of you in gold and green
In gold and green. Gold and green – gold and green

Fly high in the sky little hummingbird
Wrap your wings and love all around the world
You'll never fly so far that you won't be - in our memory
Fly high in the sky let your spirit soar
Taste the freedom that you never had before
You'll always be - the little hummingbird

Beam around the world you're a ray of light
See your words keep travelling and your dreams ignite
You'll never fly so far that you won't be - in our memory

Fly high in the sky let your spirit soar
Taste the freedom that you never had before
And you'll always be - the little hummingbird
