Hummingbird
Seals & Crofts
Oh Hummingbird, mankind was
waiting for you to come
flying along
Heavenly Songbird we were so
wrong, we've harmed you
Oh Hummingbird, lend us your
wings
Let us soar in the atmosphere of
Abha
"Lift us up to the Heaven of
Holiness
Oh Source of our being!"* --Oh,
Hummingbird
Hummingbird don't fly away,
fly away
Hummingbird don't fly away,
fly away
In you I found a fragrance
I'll love you till I die
I just love you, love you, love you
I don't even know the reason why
Hummingbird don't fly away,
fly away
Hummingbird don't fly away,
fly away
The sweetness of your "Nectar"
Has drawn me like a fly
I just love you, love you, love you
I don't even know the reason why
now
Hummingbird don't fly away,
fly away
Hummingbird don't fly away,
fly away
Haven't you noticed the days
somehow keep getting longer
And the spirit-voices whisper in
us all
Haven't you noticed the rays
The "Spirit Sun" is stronger
And a "New Day" is dawning for
us all
Hummingbird don't fly away,
fly away
Hummingbird don't fly away,
fly away
Alas here comes the "Gardener"
He's come to till the flowers
The draught of understanding,
wisdom, peace and love is ours
Hummingbird don't fly away,
fly away
Hummingbird don't fly away,
fly away
Don't fly away, don't fly away
