Broken Wings
"Broken wings", with them you can't fly!
You flail about, but still, you can't ever reach the sky.
Wearily you seek for some refuge where you can go.
Moving cautiously away from others so that they would never know.
"Broken wings", with them you can't fly!
And as time goes on, your're not able to peer out even to see the sky.
Longing for a time when you could soar with each wind anew.
That was when you could glide through the sun and a sky so blue.
"Broken wings", with them you can't fly!
But hope begins with a stretch of the wings and desire to reach the sky.
Wearily you seek for some refuge where you can go.
Moving cautiously towards others so that some may know.
"Broken wings", with them you can't fly!
But healing means trusting, and knowing that you will again see the sky.
Longing for a time when you can soar each wind anew.
Taking time to mend so that you will glide through the sun and a sky so blue.
"Broken wings", with them you can't fly!
But never to stretch your wings, means never to see the sky.
