I'm a feather in the wind

I'm up and then I'm down again

And though the places I have been

To heavens gate and 'round the bend

Things are never what

They appear to be

'Cause everybody's trying to grab a hold of me

So catch me if you can

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

More lowly than a beggars plight

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

Things are never what

They appear to be

So many different pieces

Make up the whole of me

So hold me in your hands

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
