When the deal came down you were running away
When the deal came down it was all you could take
When the deal came down there was nothing you could do
When the deal came down you did, too
You knew why the bluebird's wings were blue
It's not a broken story that holds fire to your feet
It's not old marching orders that you have got to meet
It's not as though you've ever lost your voice or left your
Seat, it's just the deal has changed
And now it's time to leap
When the deal came down you were running away
When the deal came down it was all you could take
When the deal came down there was nothing you could do
When the deal came down you did, too
You knew why the bluebird's wings were blue
It's not the sky's reflection that makes those feathers blue
It's not the paintbrush dipping in the dye to shape the hue
The color comes from how she's made, her essence thru and thru
Now lean into the wind
Let your own wings carry you
It's got to fall apart to come together again
Let the current lift you up to where the stars never end
You know why the bluebird's wings are blue
You know why the bluebird's wings are blue
You know why the bluebird's wings, are blue
