0:12Everywhere you turn you are

0:15Surrounded by the sound of winter's song

0:23Everything is frozen and only the swans

0:27Have chosen to be strong

0:33The skies are all a big commotion

0:36Somewhere the birds are all in motion

0:45And home where they belong

0:47An the love you once thought

0:51Long faded out of view

0:57Was there all along

1:02And right in front of you

1:04And look at you now

1:06You're flying too

1:16You're flying too

1:24Soon the dormant patient roots

1:27Will show themselves as childish shoots

1:35Of a first-time mother's joy

1:38Little streams of consciousness

1:40They tumble over rocks they kiss

1:49Of what will happen next

1:51And the love you once thought

1:54(You once thought)

1:56Long faded out of view

2:01Was there all along

2:04(All along)

2:07And in ways you never knew

2:12And the birds you once thought

2:14(You once thought)

2:17Long gone ahead of you

2:22They were there all along

2:25(all along)

2:27And right in front of you

2:30An look at you now

2:32You're flying too

Everywhere you turn you are
Surrounded by the sound of winter's song
Everything is frozen and  only the swans
Have chosen to be strong
The skies are all a big commotion
Somewhere the birds are all in motion
And home where they belong
An the love you once thought
Long faded out of view
Was there all along
And right in front of you
And look at you now
You're flying too
You're flying too
Soon the dormant patient roots
Will show themselves as childish shoots
Of a first-time mother's joy
Little streams of consciousness
They tumble over rocks they kiss
Of what will happen next
And the love you once thought
(You once thought)
Long faded out of view
Was there all along
(All along)
And in ways you never knew
And the birds you once thought
(You once thought)
Long gone ahead of you
They were there all along
(all along)
And right in front of you
An look at you now
You're flying too
