The morning is coming with a hunger to feed
I’ll do what I’ve got to get the taste that I need
Minute by minute and hour by hour
I’ll feed this pit with what I find and all I can scour

Give me a feather and I’ll trade you my friend
It’s just a single feather dear, it won’t be the end
Watch and you’ll learn young one, I’m not what you think
I’ll give you all you’d ever want, to eat and to drink

It’s too far to run. It’s too hard to fly
There’s got to be a better way
It’s too far to run. It’s too hard to fly
A feather’s small to give away

One was the deal before but now I want three
So if you want to get your fix you’ll have to agree
Don’t you fret now, don’t you fear, you’ve still got much to give
I’ll keep my word if you keep yours; you still need me to live

I’m too slow to run
I’m too weak to fly
(I’m too slow to run)
I’m tired living day by day
I’m too slow to run
I’m too weak to fly
(I’m too slow to run)
How much will I have to pay?
