The sun isn't up yet, I'm taking my flight,
My brothers are sleeping, I'm chasing the light.
The garden still calls from over the hill,
I'm loading my pockets with all they can fill.
My wings are still beating, but losing their song,
I've flown past the meadow where shadows grow long.
The nectar is hidden in petals of blue,
I'm buzzing on empty and hoping it's true.
(Chorus)
I’m buzzing on empty, but still I go on,
From first light of day till the last light is gone.
Through fields full of color, I chase every drop,
No matter how far, I won’t ever stop.
I finally landed where colors grow bright,
I reached for the gold, but it gave me a fright.
The bloom was a cheat, and the well had run dry,
I'm buzzing on empty with nowhere to fly.
I circle the clover with all of my might,
The wind starts to push me and steal from my flight.
I sip on that go-go and fuel up my soul,
I'm buzzing on empty but finally whole.
(Chorus)
The wind tries to break me, the miles take their toll,
But nectar and purpose keep fueling my soul.
Though wings may grow weary, I answer the call,
I’m buzzing on empty, still giving it all.
I'm heavy with pollen and heading back home,
The day has been long, and I'm tired to the bone.
I’ll sleep through the night, then back to the sky,
I’m buzzing on empty, at first light I’ll fly.
(Bridge)
When skies turn gray and the petals are gone,
I have the strength to keep moving on.
No drop comes easy, each flight’s a test,
But I was designed to give it my best.
(Chorus)
I’m buzzing on empty, but still I go on,
From first light of day till the last light is gone.
Through fields full of color, I chase every drop,
No matter how far, I won’t ever stop.
The wind tries to break me, the miles take their toll,
But nectar and purpose keep fueling my soul.
Though wings may grow weary, I answer the call,
I’m buzzing on empty, still giving it all.
I’m buzzing on empty, still giving it all.
