I'm a feather in the wind I'm up, and then I'm down again And all the places I have been To heavens gates and 'round the bend But things are never what They appear to be 'Cause everybody's trying to grab ahold of me So catch me if you can But set me free again Like a feather in the wind I'm a reflection in the glass 'Cause I can't keep from looking back And though the pages that I lack Are stuck inside a broken past Things are never what They appear to be So I'll dig a little deeper 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 But more lowly than a beggar's plight I'm 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 ♪ But things are never what They appear to be 'Cause so many different pieces Make up the whole of me So hold me in your hands And 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
