Extraordinary

I was a bay tree

Quiet and unseen

I lived in stories but inside I kept a mystery

I was a starling

Nobody's darling

Flying in perfect circles

Just for company

And now I'm ready

And now I'm ready

And now I'm ready to be

A midnight airplane

A window blowing

I know I am another sparkle in the sky

I shine on copper

Still undiscovered

But you must see me in the corner of your eye

And now I'm ready

And now I'm ready

And now I'm ready to be

Waking up to wake up some day

I am my own prey

Stopping off at a sidewalk cafe

The wind is playing in the trees

Kicking up confetti leaves

Sings as if it's all to say

And now I'm ready

And now I'm ready

And now I'm ready to be

And now I'm ready

And now I'm ready

And now I'm ready to be
