[Verse]
A F#m G
The old oak tree had roots so far down in the ground
A F#m G
I fell from it and hit the dirt without a sound
A F#m G
I dreamt at night of growing wings so I could fly
A F#m G
B caterpillar to a moth before I die
A F#m G
I plodded through, ordinarily earthbound
A F#m G
I knew my feet could never leave the ground
A F#m G
I went about my way, unsteady and afraid
A F#m G
How could I know I was headed for this day?
[Chorus]
A Bm A D
All the seconds And the minutes And the hours And the days
D# E F#
And the weeks And the months And the years of my life
E C# F#
It was all worth it, To be here now
G A
I'm a hummingbird Floatin' tree to tree
G A D
I'm a hummingbird Beautiful and free
[Verse]
A F#m G
The old oak tree was dead; I had to cut it down
A F#m G
The sapling roots were new and sprouting through the ground
A F#m G
New worlds were taking shape, unseen and unknown
A F#m G
B branch to rest upon B place to call my own
A F#m G
Something had changed, and I'm not sure how or why
A F#m G
I wasn't dreaming, I was awake, I was alive
A F#m G
Gave up the ghost, he had nothing left to say
A F#m G
But it was him who brought me to this day
[Chorus]
A Bm A D
All the seconds And the minutes And the hours And the days
D# E F#
And the weeks And the months And the years of my life
E C# F#
It was all worth it, To be here now
G A
I'm a hummingbird Floatin' tree to tree

I'm a hummingbird Beautiful and free
