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

I'm a hummingbird Beautiful and free
