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