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