Bees Are Meant to Fly

Bees are meant to fly
Something clipped my wings
Then I sewed them up
Had to start again
Now I'm flying forth
Life is moving on
I can feel the sun
I'm turning in the pollen

Bees are meant to fly
Find me in the breeze
Turning from a stone
To a mountain peak
Turning from a ghost
From a broken boy
Into something else
Into something more

Bees are meant to fly
Demons tie them down
Kick them in the stomach
Drown them in the honey
Throw them down a well
Good luck climbing out
No one knows you're there
And no one hears you shouting

Bees are meant to fly
People still can't see
The evidence is hidden
When your wings are missing
So they think it's strange
When you fail to fly
You're in a prison deep within a hive

And have to figure out
How you can fly
When you're locked in a hive
Next to a demon that's older than time
Who singled you out
Cut off your wings
Told you you're worse than the rest of the bees
Yeah I know it well it lives in me

I was giving up sort of early
I found a life I thought was worth it
I found a flame and I built a sun
And from those ashes I have become

What I want and always needed
So when in doubt I can believe that
Life around me is so astounding
That I really shouldn't leave

Bees are meant to fly
Others still are stuck
We should help them out
We should get them up
I think I found my hope
I think I found my light
I'm living in the day
And dreaming in the night

Bees are meant to fly
You can try it too
The second you give in
You decide to lose
You can turn it down
Looking for the door
Though it takes a while
Life is something more

Bees are meant to fly
Meant to leave the hive
Moving through the trees
In pursuit of life
Flowing like a stream
Turning through the air
Underneath the sun
And really being there

Bees are meant to fly
In pursuit of pollen
Meant to get back up
When one of them has fallen
Sometimes they stay down
Longer than they should
Something on their shoulders
Crushed them like a boulder

Have a go at life
You'll need a why
We can find a how
Once you know what
You can figure it out

Build your own wings
Do it from scratch
Not 'cause you want to
But because you have to
Other than that there is nothing left

Sometimes it's true
That the best you can do
If you choose to stay
Is making tomorrow
A little better than today

Then step by step
You build up a home
And to your surprise
You've got a life that's worth living
And worth fighting for
