Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Hummingbird, don't fly away, fly away
Hummingbird, don't fly away, fly away
In you, I've 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 now
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
Hummingbird, don't fly away, fly away
Hummingbird, don't fly away, fly away
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
Hummingbird, don't fly away, fly away
Hummingbird, don't fly away, fly away
Alas, here comes the gardener
He's come to kill the flowers
The draught of understanding
Wisdom, peace and love is ours now
[Verse 7]
Hummingbird, don't fly away, fly away
Hummingbird, don't fly away, fly away
[Verse 8]
Don't fly away
Don't fly away
Don't fly away
Don't fly away
Don't fly away
Don't fly away
Don't fly away
Don't fly away
Don't fly away
Don't fly away
Don't fly away
Don't fly away
Don't fly away
Don't fly away...
