lyrics

Oh to be like Blue
Lying by the fire, everything is new
Waiting by the door if there’s a walk in store
A squirrel to chase around the frozen glen
Then home again

Oh to be like Blue and wake up
Push the button and press reset
Say good-bye to what can never be
Let go of the things not meant for me

Cause in the end I’m told these are the things that really matter
How we lived, how we loved
And did we find the answer
With grace, with hope, with heart
And if you didn’t say “I love you”
Take a breath and say it now
Then say it once again

Oh to be a bird
Flying high above this vast and troubled world
Just searching for an insect or a worm
And it’s another day to start it all again

Oh to be a bird and wake up
Push the button and press reset
Say good-bye to what can never be
Let go of the things not meant for me

Cause in the end I’m told these are the things that really matter
How we lived, how we loved
And did we find the answer
With grace, with hope, with heart
And if you didn’t say “I love you”
Take a breath and say it now
Then say it once again

I wrote this song for you
I wrote this song for you
I made this song for you

Oh to live on earth
A momentary gift that’s ours from birth
A temporary time to make a mark
To light a match and leave a spark

Oh to be on earth and wake up
Push the button and press reset
Say good-bye to what can never be
Let go of the things not meant for me

Cause in the end I’m told these are the things that really matter
How we lived, how we loved
And did we find the answer
With grace, with hope, with heart
And if you didn’t say “I love you”
Take a breath and say it now
Then say it once again

If you didn’t say “I love you”
Take a breath and say it now
Then say it once again
