lyrics

Once upon a time, a girl could turn into a bird,
All she'd need is sage and fenugreek,
An empty head, and welcome bed,
ready to grow wings and find a song to sing.

Eagles, crows, and hummingbirds,
woodpeckers, and snow owls
appeared to her,
giving a glimpse
into their midst
and medicine:

Though storms may come
and predators wait,
through feather fray and weather change,
we fly each day and know the way
to a warmer place.

Climb with us to see the green.
Trees are stairways for the wingless
to escape the dusty trails below.
Bring back word
to those beneath the canopy
that there is hope,
and hope in times of hopelessness
is nothing less than defiance
and dreams.

Eagles dive to earth when they find their mate,
and they tumble to love and create.
Woodpeckers drum the beat of impending doom
and provide the rhythm to escape.
Owls are faithful to death when they know
they've found the best.
All that a hummingbird believes
is red, and you better believe she'll get it.

Thunderbirds,
lightning wings,
hope is defiance,
so we sing.
