When the deal came down you were running away When the deal came down it was all you could take When the deal came down there was nothing you could do When the deal came down you did, too You knew why the bluebird's wings were blue It's not a broken story that holds fire to your feet It's not old marching orders that you have got to meet It's not as though you've ever lost your voice or left your Seat, it's just the deal has changed And now it's time to leap When the deal came down you were running away When the deal came down it was all you could take When the deal came down there was nothing you could do When the deal came down you did, too You knew why the bluebird's wings were blue It's not the sky's reflection that makes those feathers blue It's not the paintbrush dipping in the dye to shape the hue The color comes from how she's made, her essence thru and thru Now lean into the wind Let your own wings carry you It's got to fall apart to come together again Let the current lift you up to where the stars never end You know why the bluebird's wings are blue You know why the bluebird's wings are blue You know why the bluebird's wings, are blue
