It was a cold winter night
When you shoved your body aside
There was a silence in the trees
And the wind spoke through the leaves
It was about them, you and me
It was about nightmares and dreams
It was about beauty to be
About being lifted by a flock of bees
I remember on the beach that day
You said you'd shine in the shade
You said you'd grow to be great
And when you sang you'd be Beyoncé
We all laughed at those words
You said I can no longer be hurt
You put your sunglasses on
You said I might look weak but I feel so strong
And then when you shaved your head
You meant to cry but you laughed instead
You said now I'm ready for true love
And you looked down but he came from above
You put your hiking boots on
You crossed horizons you thought were long gone
And when your bones started to ache
He held you so hard you thought you'd break
You showed him all bees can carry
You said it's a shame to be buried
There you stood, mountain high
Whispering I want to fly
Fly
Fly
You were a smile in the sun
You were the breeze before it's gone
You were so easily pleased
And yet so hard to defeat
And then that day in the sun
We said goodbye and we were one
It was a cold winter day
It took millions of bees to carry you away
Because you had grown to be great
You had grown to be great
Grown to be great
Grown to be great
Grown to be great
Grown to be great
Grown to be great
Grown to be great
