When the Deal Came Down

When the deal came down you were running away
 When the deal came down it was all you could take
 When the deal came down there was nothing you could do
 When the deal came down you did, too
 You knew why the bluebird's wings were blue
 It's not a broken story that holds fire to your feet
 It's not old marching orders that you have got to meet
 It's not as though you've ever lost your voice or left your
 Seat, it's just the deal has changed
 And now it's time to leap
 When the deal came down you were running away
 When the deal came down it was all you could take
 When the deal came down there was nothing you could do
 When the deal came down you did, too
 You knew why the bluebird's wings were blue
 It's not the sky's reflection that makes those feathers blue
 It's not the paintbrush dipping in the dye to shape the hue
 The color comes from how she's made, her essence thru and thru
 Now lean into the wind
 Let your own wings carry you
 It's got to fall apart to come together again
 Let the current lift you up to where the stars never end
 You know why the bluebird's wings are blue
 You know why the bluebird's wings are blue
 You know why the bluebird's wings, are blue
