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
