"One Day You Will Fly Too" lyrics

"One Day You Will Fly Too"

I get up early
And I comb my hair
And I brush my teeth
And I talk to the little white birdie
On my windowsill
Every time he speaks
He helps to cure my worry
Oh how I wish
He didn't always have to fly away
I sit down
And he bats his wing
And he nods his head
Say recently I've found
That I think too much about things I've said
Will I ever find my crown?
If I can barely even make it through the day

And he says just think of the sunshine
When you're stuck in the storm
When you're cold in December
Just try to remember how it feels to be warm
This world's confusing
Just take it as it comes
I hope you haven't forgotten
I've one thing in common with you
'Cause one day you will fly too

I stay up too late
When there's no more light
And the house gets quiet
And I think about my day
And I play some chords
And I write some words that I didn't get to say
I think I've come to understand

I underestimate the power of my silly little fears
I'm not grateful for all that I have until it disappears
My heart isn't sturdy but I'll be okay
'Cause I still have my birdie

Who tells me to think of the sunshine
When you're stuck in the storm
When you're cold in December
Just try to remember how it feels to be warm
This world's confusing
Just take it as it comes
I hope you haven't forgotten
I've one thing in common with you

He said that he had wings when he was born and he didn't know why
Said he'd walk among the flowers and he'd look up at the sky
Said that he didn't think he was like the birds that were up high
Didn't think that he could fly
So he didn't even try
Until he started questioning the things he saw as true
Then his worries started lessening and next thing that he knew
He was flying
No denying
There's often big things hidden in the little things we do

One day you will fly too
