I was a bay tree
Quiet and unseen
I lived in stories but inside I kept a mystery
I was a starling
Nobody?s darling
Flying in perfect circles
Desperate company
* And now I?m ready
And now I?m ready
And now I?m ready to be
Extraordinary
A midnight airplane
A window blowing
I know I am another sparkle in the sky
I shine on copper
Still undiscovered
But you must see me in the corner of your eye
[Repeat *]
Waking up to wake up some day
I am my own prey
Stopping off at a sidewalk cafe
The wind is playing up in the trees
Kicking up confetti leaves
Sings as if it?s all to say
[Repeat * , *]
