Honeybee from Ivy Boy by Ivy Boy

Honeybee, Honeybee don’t give up so fast
Worried ‘bout the future, concerned about the past
Run and tell the swarm as the clouds of the storm start to clear
Just to buy yourself a minute then the smile disappears

Honeybee, Honeybee it’s so hard to be mean
You call yourself the king, yeah you call yourself the queen
They stare you in the eyes as they circle ‘round your hives once again
But they’re more afraid of you than you’re afraid of them

A thousand different shades of blue might look good on you
But it’s your day to waste not mine
It’s the first day of July
Maybe it’s the thought that there’s always something stopping you from looking to the light
But the sun will always shine
On the first day of July

I got a hunch that the world could be a different place
If every bite you took you could sit back and enjoy the taste
Stop and smell the flowers as you’re counting down the hours in a year
You only get one sting and then the dream disappears

But maybe it’s the sun in your eyes, that turned you blind to the fact
That you’re young and you’re still alive
On the first day of July
You can tell the leaves not to fade, or rain on my parade
But at least I’m enjoying the ride
On the first day of July

Honeybee, Honeybee don’t give up so fast
Honeybee, Honeybee don’t give up so fast
Honeybee, Honeybee don’t give up so fast
Honeybee, Honeybee make the good times last
