I'm A Hummingbird Lyrics - Tomorrow Morning - Eels

The old oak tree had roots so far down in the ground 

I fell from it and hit the dirt without a sound 

I dreamt at night of growing wings so I could fly 

A caterpillar to a moth before I die 

I plodded through, ordinarily earthbound 

I knew my feet could never leave the ground 

I went about my way, unsteady and afraid 

How could I know I was headed for this day? 

All the seconds 

And the minutes 

And the hours 

And the days 

And the weeks 

And the months 

And the years of my life

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

It was all worth it 

To be here now 

I'm a hummingbird 

Floatin' tree to tree 

I'm a hummingbird 

Beautiful and free 

The old oak tree was dead; I had to cut it down 

The sapling roots were new and sprouting through the ground 

New worlds were taking shape, unseen and unknown 

A branch to rest upon 

A place to call my own 

Photos 

Something had changed, and I'm not sure how or why 

I wasn't dreaming; I was awake, I was alive 

Gave up the ghost; he had nothing left to say 

But it was him who brought me to this day 

All the seconds 

And the minutes 

And the hours 

And the days 

And the weeks 

And the months 

And the years of my life 

It was all worth it 

To be here now 

I'm a hummingbird 

Floatin' tree to tree 

I'm a hummingbird 

Beautiful and free
