First Time Mother's Joy (flying)

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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

An the love you once thought, long faded out of view,

Was there all along, and right in front of you,

An look at you now you're flying..too

You're flying too

Soon the dormant patient roots will show themselves as childish

shoots,

(Watered by the tears)

Of a first-time mother's joy

Lil' streams of consciousness, they tumble over rocks they

kiss,

(Unafraid of who they are)

Of what will happen next

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, and right in front of you,

An look at you now you're flying...too
