City of Broken Wings
I want to say the exact words that fit me
But they were taken by poems and melodies
I want to show you that though I think I'm dying
You and I, we're alive because we're trying
I want to say that my heart is torn in two
One half flying free, the other enslaved, like you
I want to explain the whispers of the wind
And the colors of life, but I don't know where to begin
Let's start with you and me
Here we are, together living
Our dream is to one day end up flying
But our wings our torn, and we are falling
We don't know when the fall will end
We don't know when we'll fly again
Together we are alone
We are on our own
We can't just fall forever
Let's create together
We will make our own peace
Creating our own harmony
We'll come together in the sky
Chanting lyrics that make things right
The wind will whisper
Songs of approval
We will no longer live under society's rule
We are the city of broken wings
The lost and damaged who dream of flying
We'll make it together
For it will get better
