  Am
A bird with the word came to me
    Dm
The sweetness of a honeycomb tree
    C
And now I look what's taking over me
         C
Couldn't fake it if I wanted to
         F7
I had to wake up just to make it through
         F7
I got my patience and I'm making do
             Dm
I learned my lessons from the ancient roots
             Dm
I choose to follow what the greatest do
  Am
A bird with the word came to me

         F7
I had to wake up just to make it through
