“Honey Bee”
By: Steve Everett
Verse 1
I like the life of a honey bee
Plays the whole thing out with just one sting
And if she can’t learn how to just be kind
She’ll have to leave the ones she loves behind
Pre-Chorus
You
Misunderstood at picnics, swatted down at baseball games
Keeping flowers blooming while you try to earn your name
Chorus
You’re just flying over families
Just beyond our reach
Running for your life so you can stay
You use your wings and keep your anger put away
Cause you’ve learned how to live to sting another day
Verse 2
You put the flavor in our tea
But in the spring you make us itch and sneeze
For the sweetest taste we sing your praise
But for the yellow dust we curse your name
Bridge
Ain’t it just like people being at each other’s throats
Focused our difference
When what’s in common weighs the most
