Last Night I Had A Dream About A Hummingbird

The one thing that I wanted to talk about was the concept of
Believing in yourself, especially in the age of the internet
You're constantly comparing yourself to other people
You're constantly comparing yourself to other, like people in your
Field of study that may be better than you are at what you're doing
They may be better artist, better musicians

When you are constantly trying to meet the expectations of someone else
You're letting yourself down
I don't have anything to prove to anyone
I don't need to compare myself to anyone
Except myself, I don't owe anybody anything, anything, anything...

Let me tell you something weird
Lat night, I had a dream about a hummingbird
Sitting pretty full of pity
Singing all the sweetest songs that you ever heard
I said, "Hummingbird, you've got potential essential to venture
Adventures and conquer the world if you care
Whatcha still doing over here?"

"Hummingbird, the door to your cage has been broken for ages and open
Just take it, you're moping and hoping on hope
That you make it, just float to that opening and go
Hummingbird, ignore all these mockingbirds talking and gossiping
About you all day, haven't done nothing with their own lives anyway" (anyway)

Once you become a hero, somebody will always want to shoot you down
It goes with the territory
The more you put on the pedestal, you will be shot down
There'll come a point where you're gonna need to become a fallen hero
It's an inevitability, and there's that whole sorta thing about

Do I step off the pedestal myself or do I wait to be shot down
And at when do I step down?
You know, words like stepping down are very profound
That is stepping down
Making way for the next and relinquish control, and you know
Do I stop while I'm up?
Do I know when to go?
