Than what the eye can see And if anybody asks Making friends at last With my reflection in the glass
I'm softer than a bride in white But I'm tough enough to fight my own fight Sometimes higher than a quivering kite More lowly than a beggars plight
Like a fire in the night
I'm burnin up with all my might
Don't wanna flicker out of sight
Fade into the morning light
Things are never what
They appear to be
Cause only time will tell when I'm ashes at your feet So when I'm burnin bright Let me be your light Like a fire in the night
Things are never what They appear to be So many different pieces Make up the whole of me
So hold me in your hands
Take me as I am 'Cause I'm a feather I'm a reflection I'm a fire in your direction I'm unruly I'm undone So just love me as I come
[00:09.79]I'm a feather in the wind [00:11.86] [00:15.42]I'm up and then I'm down again [00:18.27] [00:20.64]and though the places I have been [00:23.15] [00:26.53]to heavens gate and 'round the bend [00:29.10] [00:32.22]Things are never what [00:34.92]They appear to be [00:36.78] [00:37.60]'Cause everybody's trying to grab a hold of me [00:42.55] [00:43.11]So catch me if you can [00:45.22] [00:45.85]Set me free again [00:48.47]Like a feather in the wind [00:50.90] [00:53.90]I'm a reflection in the glass [00:56.22] [00:59.96]'Cause I can't keep from looking back [01:03.58] [01:05.13]And though the pages that I lack [01:07.85] [01:10.97]Are stuck inside a broken past [01:14.13] [01:16.44]Things are never what [01:18.48] [01:19.29]They appear to be [01:21.78]So I'll dig a little deeper [01:24.41] [01:25.10]Than what the eye can see [01:27.37]And if anybody asks [01:30.60]Making friends at last [01:32.79]With my reflection in the glass [01:35.30] [01:40.04]I'm softer than a bride in white [01:45.17]But I'm tough enough to fight my own fight [01:50.21]Sometimes higher than a quivering kite [01:56.58]More lowly than a beggars plight [02:02.35] [02:06.60]Like a fire in the night [02:08.44] [02:12.25]I'm burnin up with all my might [02:16.43] [02:17.24]Don't wanna flicker out of sight [02:20.48] [02:23.16]Fade into the morning light [02:26.22] [02:28.78]Things are never what [02:30.74] [02:31.61]They appear to be [02:33.61] [02:34.17]Cause only time will tell when [02:36.96]I'm ashes at your feet [02:39.58]So when I'm burnin bright [02:42.26]Let me be your light [02:45.07]Like a fire in the night [02:48.18] [02:50.87]Things are never what [02:53.74]They appear to be [02:56.05]So many different pieces [02:58.73]Make up the whole of me [03:00.98] [03:01.86]So hold me in your hands [03:04.18] [03:04.74]Take me as I am [03:11.28]'Cause I'm a feather [03:12.57]I'm a reflection [03:13.96]I'm a fire in your direction [03:16.71]I'm unruly [03:17.87]I'm undone [03:19.62]So just love me as I come
