Mountains wishin’ they could walk,
trees wishin’ they could fly with the flock,
every hour wants to tick it’s way back in time.
Hardly no one’s living fully yet,
but the heart’s got a fever in it,
it opens the eyes and goes huntin’ for a sign.
Oh, Starling sing,
you’re the only one with wings.
You gotta go where no one else can go.
You’re the High Flyer, the Hope Giver,
you gotta steal those heights and bring them home.
Everyday’s just another day,
when the anchors set and the bricks are laid,
what I wanted to be haunts me like a hollow ghost.
Oh, the sky has lungs that will take you far,
being alone will be the hardest part,
but you’ll see the smile of a workin’ man down below.
Oh, Starling sing,
you’re the only one with wings.
You gotta go where no one else can go.
You’re the High Flyer, the Hope Giver,
you gotta steal those heights and bring them home.
Steal those heights and bring them home.
