Josephine
Andrew Shier Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's critical, don't know if you'll make it back from here
Waiting 'round, waiting rooms
I got a call, momma she was crying, said you're hurt
It's all a blur to me
Wherever love is to be found, you'll be around, you're next to me
You caught a bug along the way, it's safe to say, infectiously

Spread your wings, little bee
Lend your love to those in need, Josephine

Its critical, your wings were forged through flames and fear
No coincidence to me
Don't be scared, bid the masses around to be more like you
Let love rule with your hug brigade
Wherever love is to be found, you'll be around, you're next to me
You caught a bug along the way, it's safe to say, you're next to me

Spread your wings, little bee
Lend your love to those in need, Josephine

So lend your heart to those in need
Let love spread to those who need




Spread your wings little bee
Your heart was made for those in need, Josephine
