Dumbo

Mom told me she often listened to Stevie Wonder
While she patiently waited for me to come into this world
I came knowing you can’t really see
Never, oh never, as well as with your heart

We spend our lives counting all that we lack
Sometimes putting our hearts in the grayest of states
We forget that we’re okay, that from within
It doesn’t take away the tears, but me

I’m like Dumbo
I just keep flying
Above my flaws
I’m like Dumbo
I just keep flying

An elephant king, sometimes makes mistakes
And dances as badly as you and I
As an elephant, I don’t make mistakes
When I tell myself we need to love, ourselves

The loudest birds, the most 'hey, I’m here'
Aren’t always the most loving, well, I guess it depends
The space we take, never says
If we’re happy with what we become

I’m like Dumbo
I just keep flying
Above my flaws
I’m like Dumbo
I just keep flying

Oh, an elephant king, sometimes makes mistakes
And dances as badly as you and I
As an elephant, I don’t make mistakes
When I tell myself we need to love, ourselves

What do men who don’t love themselves love?
I’ve often wondered
What do men who don’t love themselves love?
I’m taking off, I’m leaving

I’m like Dumbo
I just keep flying
Above my flaws
I’m like Dumbo
I just keep flying

Oh, an elephant king, sometimes makes mistakes
And dances as badly as you and I
As an elephant, I don’t make mistakes
When I tell myself we need to love, ourselves

An elephant king, sometimes makes mistakes
And dances as badly as you and I
As an elephant, I don’t make mistakes
When I tell myself we need to love, ourselves

I’m like Dumbo
I just keep flying
Above my flaws
I’m like Dumbo
I just keep flying

I’m like Dumbo
I just keep flying
Above my flaws
I’m like Dumbo
I just keep flying
