Lyrics

Oh hummingbird, mankind was waiting for you to come flying along
Heavenly songbird, we were so wrong. we've harmed you
Oh hummingbird, lend us your wings. let us soar in the atmosphere of abha
Lift us up to the heaven of holiness, oh source of our being, oh hummingbird

Hummingbird don't fly away, fly away. hummingbird don't fly away, fly away
In you I've found a fragrance. I'll love you 'til I die
I just love you, love you, love you. I don't even know the reason why
Hummingbird don't fly away, fly away. hummingbird don't fly away, fly away
The sweetness of your nectar has drawn me like a fly
I just love you, love you, love you. I don't even know the reason why. now
Hummingbird don't fly away, fly away. hummingbird don't fly away, fly away

Haven't you noticed the days somehow keep getting longer?
And the spirit voices whisper in us all
Haven't you noticed the rays? the spirit sun in stronger
And a new day is dawning on us all

Hummingbird don't fly away, fly away. hummingbird don't fly away, fly away
Hummingbird don't fly away, fly away. hummingbird don't fly away, fly away
***
Alas, here comes the "gardener"; he's come to till the flowers
***
The draught of understanding; wisdom, peace and love is ours
Hummingbird don't fly away, fly away. hummingbird don't fly away, fly away
