Feather in the wind

I'm up and then I'm down again
And though the places I have been
To heavens gate and 'round the bend

Things are never what
They appear to be
'Cause everybody's trying to grab a hold of me
So catch me if you can
Set me free again

I'm a reflection in the glass
'Cause I can't keep from looking back
And though the pages that I lack
Are stuck inside a broken past

Things are never what
They appear to be
So I'll dig a little deeper
Than what the eye can see
And if anybody asks
Making friends at last
With my reflection in the glass

I'm softer than a bride in white
But I'm tough enough to fight my own fight
Sometimes higher than a quivering kite
More lowly than a beggars plight

Like a fire in the night
I'm burnin up with all my might
Don't wanna flicker out of sight
Fade into the morning light

Things are never what
They appear to be
Cause only time will tell when
I'm ashes at your feet
So when I'm burnin bright
Let me be your light
Like a fire in the night

Things are never what
They appear to be
So many different pieces
Make up the whole of me
So hold me in your hands
Take me as I am
I'm a reflection
I'm a fire in your direction
I'm unruly
I'm undone
So just love me as I come
