Broken Wing

I feel like a bird with a broken wing

Damaged by all the bad I've seen

I want to fly away with you now and feel new things

But I get frustrated I can't yet, so I let off steam

Sometimes I feel trapped, up on a beam

High above a crowded scene

Reluctant to move, for fear I'll fall

I know I can't fly all the way yet, so I stall

I make up excuses to change the focus

I can't stand my condition, I try not to let anyone notice

I hide it inside like there's nothing wrong

But sometimes the list can get really long

Please understand when it happens

And just sit with me here

Sometimes I will need you to dry my tears

Stay by my side as I learn how to glide

Help me one step at a time, so we can finally fly
