The Song in My Head

Why Do You Call? (c) 1997

Why do you call me into the sky?
Why do I hear you sing?
Why do you tell me it's time to fly?
I'm not yet ready to take wing.

And why, why, why do I fly, why do I soar to the sun?
I've places to be, and people to see, and tasks I have not yet begun.
Why, why, why do I fly, why do I soar to the sun?
I cannot start to take my heart away from anyone.

Why do you call me into the fire?
Why does it crackle my name?
Why do you fill me with this desire
To join you and dance in the flame?

And why, why, why do I fly, why do I soar to the sun?
I've places to be, and people to see, and tasks I have not yet begun.
Why, why, why do I fly, why do I soar to the sun?
I cannot start to take my heart away from anyone.

Why do you call me into the water?
Why call me into the sea.
I've not yet finished raising my children.
There are lessons yet set for me.

And why, why, why do I fly, why do I soar to the sun?
I've places to be, and people to see, and tasks I have not yet begun.
Why, why, why do I fly, why do I soar to the sun?
I cannot start to take my heart away from anyone.

Why do you call me into the earth
Down where the roots all grow?
I'm not yet ready for my next birth,
I'm not yet ready to go.

And why, why, why do I fly, why do I soar to the sun?
I've places to be, and people to see, and tasks I have not yet begun.
Why, why, why do I fly, why do I soar to the sun?
I cannot start to take my heart away from anyone.
I cannot start to take my heart away from anyone.
