First-Time Mother's Joy (Flying)

[Verse 1] 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 (Yearning to be back) And home where they belong [Chorus] And 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 Well, you're flying too [Verse 2] Soon the dormant patient roots Will show themselves as childish shoots (Watered by the tears) Of a first-time mother's joy Little streams of consciousness They tumble over rocks they kiss (Unafraid of who they are) Of what will happen next [Chorus] 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 And look at you now, you're flying, too [Instrumental Outro]
