Redwing Lyrics - Hem

Hey, was that you floating past the tree line? 

Hey, was that a feather in your hand? 

No, I don't mean to ask these questions 

No, I don't mean to rush your heart 

I swear I saw this accidentally 

No, I don't mean to start 

Hey, the rain falls straight into the sidewalk 

Hey, the clouds hang heavy in the sky 

But I don't want to still believe in 

The gravity of solid ground 

The world below is not so big 

That it can keep us down 

We are standing on the rooftops 

We are circling like sparrows 

We are tiny, we are trembling 

Scared of everything 

But the heart is still a redwing 

Fly above the houses and the schoolyards 

And fly until you cannot feel the Earth 

No, I don't mean that it's so easy 

And I don't mean that it's so small 

But the world below is not so mean 

That it can make us fall
