lyrics
Close your tired eyes
there's not a thing left to say
Hold your head up high
for you did everything your way
Now the time has come
as the hummingbird she sings
Gaze into the sun
for now a new journey begins
For in the morning
you shall fly
Above the melancholy skies
don''t be afraid
For you did everything true
High above the sea
where the angels they play
Set your spirit free
and I say thankyou for the days
For in the morning you shall fly
above the melancholy skies
Don't be afraid
for you did everything true
