Broken Wings

A tall tree, turn and face the west

O we’re running with the wind

A high cliff-top, we’re waiting with the rest

For this journey to begin

But these broken wings won’t fly

These broken wings won’t fly at all

And oh how we laugh, maybe we should crawl

Oh, and ask to be excused

We shout loudly, have answers to it all

Oh, but we have been refused

But these broken wings won’t fly

These broken wings won’t fly at all

Girl child, you’re dancing with the stream

Growing with the silver trees

Your young questions, you ask me what it means

O but I am not at ease

But these broken wings won’t fly

These broken wings won’t fly at all
