Mighty Wings (The Hummingbird Song) #399

Mighty Wings

Song #399 | 7/15/09-8/20/09 | CD: Purest Form of Trance

D
The hummingbird sings with his wings
G
The fuchsia… sings with her blossoming
D
And calls him home
The fuchsia sets the table and he comes
As much as he is able
Of course he comes….

The morning comes…She waits
For his breeze upon her leaves
opening to receive
Will he hover here?
Will he quench her fear
With his thirst?

Refrain:
D A G
He comes home across the Gulf of Mexico
D
On Tiny wings…To her summoning
He comes home across the Gulf of Mexico
On mighty wings…Shining

The humming bird drinks the sky
If you cage him he will die
He must fly
The flower lives rooted down
She wears her colors like an evening gown
Like a crown

Refrain:

He’s a subtle warrior
In a world of clumsy robins
and screeching jays
If you watch carefully
You can hear what his body says
And you’ll know why he stays…

Standard Tuning:
Capo 5th Fret

You have put a grown man in tears…

Mark, this song and message really hit home for me today. You have put a grown man in tears. Thank You for what you do. Sometimes I think you sound kind of cheesy, and then others, I think you are a genius, and I’m beginning to realize that you actually care about helping people. So hard to “get out of your own way” sometimes…thanks for the reminder.

They love (your song) and ask to listen to it, ALWAYS.

My name is Cecile. I teach kindergarten at OMSD. I had the pleasure of using your song Together We Can Change The World to help my students make a difference in this wonderful world! They love it and ask to listen to it, ALWAYS.

Been singing the chorus since the first day I heard it…

I sh*t you not when I say I’ve been singing the chorus to Honest Rock since the first day I heard it. I sing this every single day. Many times a day. Seriously. It’s like a mantra to me. It soothes me:-)

Gene Moore

Hi Mark, I just had to tell you this. I emailed my 3 granddaughters the song you wrote who are sisters with the youngest being 11 years old, has cerebral palsy and is very smart, is able to talk, very funny, uses a computer, is able to write, now is learning to play drums, emails me ‘Thanks. I do.’ I loved the song and listened to it 3 times.

Gail Russ

Never fails to move me…

Paula

For me these songs are transformational lessons in self-love…

Dear Mark, THANK YOU for sending *Spark & Flame*!!!! This CD certainly is a compilation of Conscious Love Songs! As I listen I am transported to memory after memory past, present and future, fulfilled and unfulfilled. I was flooded with many different emotions. I cried, laughed, held my breath and also breathed deep heart-centered breaths of connection to the Divine. I feel joy, grief, sadness, compassion, love, awe, freedom, kindness, gratitude and appreciation. For me these songs are transformational lessons in self-love, releasing, acceptance for what was, what is and who I am. Knowing that I am enough and that I am Divinely Loved.
