Lyrics

I used to chase the sunrise

With a heartbeat made of brilliant fire

But somewhere after the soaring

I forgot what flying felt like

There was a little hummingbird

With a furnace inside its chest

A million miles an hour

But it never learned to rest

It carried every burden

Like a feather made of stone

Trying to be everything

Until it couldn't hold its own

It flew too close to heaven

It burned beneath the sun

Took every little piece of pain

Until the weight was too much to fly

Now it hides between the branches

Where the broken creatures go

With a heart full of melodies

But no way to let them show

And I know I was made for more than longing for the sky

More than just keeping these broken wings confined

But every hand that tried to hold me

Forgot their grip crushed every part of me

I'm a hummingbird without a song

A fragile heart that's been held too long

I lost my voice, I lost my wings

I forgot the joy I was born to bring

But I'm not dead, I'm not gone

I'm still learning where I belong

I'll find my way through the darkest skies

I'll remember how to rise

I was never meant to be held this tight

I was born to fly

They said, "You're built for the impossible

You're stronger than you know"

But they never saw the cracks beneath

The weight I couldn't show

A hummingbird should know the wind

Should turn and change its course

Should find a way through anything

Should never lose its force

But I was so delicate

I shattered in their hands

They squeezed the life out of my wings

While saying they would help me understand

I became a little shadow

Of the creature I once was

A messenger with no message

A song without a voice

But maybe losing my voice

Was never the end of my song

Maybe the silence was the place

Where I learned I still belonged

Maybe these broken wings

Were waiting for the day

I would arise from this state of torpor

And remember the voice I lost along the way

I'm a hummingbird without a song

A fragile heart that's been held too long

I lost my voice, I lost my wings

I forgot the joy I was born to bring

But I'm not dead, I'm not gone

There's still a fire beating on

I'll find my way through the darkest skies

I'll remember how to rise

I was never meant to be held this tight

I was born to fly

So I'll search for the smallest flowers

Where the forgotten gardens grow

I'll find the sweetest nectar

In the places no one knows

Because even the smallest heartbeat

Can carry a message through the night

Even a broken hummingbird

Can learn to trust the sky

And maybe my voice was buried

But it was never taken away

Maybe the song inside my chest

Was only waiting for the day

I was afraid to fly

I was afraid to sing

I was meant to spread joy

I was meant for something more

I will be the love that endures

I will be the messenger that soars once more

I will find beauty in the smallest flowers

I'm a hummingbird finding my song

A broken heart that kept beating on

I found my voice, I found my wings

I remembered the joy I was born to bring

And I'll rise up, I'll carry on

Even after everything I lost

I'll find my way through the darkest skies

I'll become the strength I was meant to be

Mmmmm

I was never meant to be held this tight

I was always meant to fly

Mmmmm

A little hummingbird with a quiet heart

A little hummingbird learning where to start

The sky was never something I had to earn

It was waiting for me

Mmmmm

To return

Mm-hmm-hmm

I'm Learning to Fly

Mmm-mmm-mmm

I'm Learning to Fly
