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