Hummingbird

Shaun Groves


Feathered, tethered 
Feels like all the world's a cage 
Worked up, run down 
In this race to earn a wage 
Something - inside 
Tells me I was made to 
Split the sky 
Tell me why I'm 

Chorus 
Living like a hummingbird 
(hungry for the blue) 
Getting nowhere fast from all my work 
(stuck inside this view) 
If you've got one eye on the sparrow, Lord 
(I'm standing still for you) 
Could you spare one for the hummingbird 

Dead lines, this grind 
Got me beating 'gainst the wind 
Want more from life 
Than just spinning 'round and getting by 
Not satisfied just 

Chorus 

Save me from this discontenting 
Never ending, spirit bending 
Pattern, I go round and round and 
Round and round and round again 
Yea I'm stuck inside this circle I just 
Know there's better out there because 
I can feel it in my wings, so I sing
