lyrics

There was a time when I lived lightly
on a farm, and an old train car
With just an amp and an overstuffed Nissan
we played our songs at all the bars

No, we did not make any money
and how we made each other cry
But oh was it ever a grand adventure
even as we longed for something, someday more

But are they gone, gone, gone
the songs I used to wake up singing?
Now that I am a 9 to 5 girl
am I still a songbird
with a lionheart?

Lord, I thought I heard you calling
Was that you, or was it me?
Lord, you gave our hearts a longing
I got what I wanted, but was it a trade?
Can I still be everything I love to be?

Or are they gone, gone, gone
the songs I used to wake up singing?
Now that I am a wife and a mom
am I still a songbird
with a lionheart?

Well is a song just a little seed?
that needs some tears for water?
Or is a song just a little seed
waiting in the dark for me
to shine a light and let it grow?
Are they waiting in the dark?
Are they waiting in the dark?
Are they waiting?

Or are they gone, gone, gone
the songs I used to wake up singing?

Well who am I to be complaining?
I love our life and our sweet family
I’m just scared I won’t even see
what I’m neglecting

Till they’re all gone, gone, gone
the songs I used to wake up singing

Now that I’ve got a love I always wanted
am I still a songbird?
Am I still a songbird?
Am I still a songbird
with a lionheart?
