FIX YOUR WINGS
I found a bird with broken wings
Tried my best to make her smile
And when I woke up in the morning
She was singing right outside
Flapping all her feathers
Chirping out her tune
And when I wrapped my wings around hers
There was nothing I could do
And through those years we spent together
Since, I’ve learned you cannot tell a
Bird with broken wings to fly
So I set off on my own
Walked until I could not go
On but then I saw that I was on a big plateau
Had to keep on moving
Left foot after right
Eyes out for the birds and so a different nest each night
And all those years I swore
That I would stop trying so hard
To find a bird with broken wings to fly
Oh my
I found that nimble is the way to walk when at first alone
A little bit of consolation you’ll be strutting off on your own
Stride a few more miles with your eyes on the prize
And don’t look down, don’t look now, you are flying, you are flying
You are flying
And so you’ll know
Without trying
You were meant to grow
You were crying
For a sight unseen
Come clean, come clean
And fix your wings
I found a bird with broken wings
There could be no way this time
But when I woke up in the morning
She was looking in my eyes
Ruffling my feathers
Questioning my tune
And when I wrapped my wings around her
There was nothing I could do
And through this time we’ve spent together
Since, I’ve learned you cannot tell a
Bird with broken wings to fly
But she caught a drift one day
I was standing ‘cross the way
Thought to help her as she stumbled
But I stayed away
She just kept on moving
Left wing after right
Eyes up towards the sky
And soon she began to rise
And through these years I swear that I could
Not quite be prepared to find a
Bird with broken wings to fly
Oh my
But I’ve found that nimble is the way to walk when at first alone
A little bit of consolation you’ll be strutting off on your own
Stride a few more miles with your eyes on the prize
And don’t look down, don’t look now, you are flying, you are flying
You are flying
And so you’ll know
Without trying
You were meant to grow
You were crying
For a sight unseen
Come clean, come clean
And fix your wings
