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
