As free as a Hummingbird, she spreads her wings and flies.
Passing through life fast, she will be remembered
Not a regret left behind because her life was full.
As free as a Hummingbird, she spreads her wings and flies.
A heart for everyone and a love she shared.
So beautiful that she was gone in a blink of an eye.
As free as a Hummingbird, she spreads her wings and flies.
Our hearts ache for her, but she is with us.
A love we all have for her will always be there.
As free as a Hummingbird, she spreads her wings and flies.
In life we loved her, and as she is gone we will love her still.
In our hearts forever she will be.
As free as a Hummingbird, she spreads her wings and flies
She wants us to love and to give.
So that’s what we’ll do because she never stopped loving and caring for us.
As free as a Hummingbird, she spreads her wings and flies.
We’ll see her again one day.
She’ll greet us with a smile and love.
As free as a Hummingbird, she spreads her wings and flies.
