Broken Wings

Hey, girl why are you so sad.

I know you fell so hard.

And you don’t know how to get back,

To what you had before.

Your broken dreams have shattered like glass.

And you don’t know how to face your past.

 

I know it seems impossible

But you can try

To pick yourself up and fly

On broken wings.

 

You found that you have no faith in anyone.

So tired of being someone you’re not.

Lies were all he left you.

Truths you’ll never find.

Then there were the tears you cried.

 

I know it seems impossible

But you can try

To pick yourself up and fly

On broken wings.

 

Your broken heart can’t heal.

So you decide not to feel.

You need to remember what it was like to dream.

 

I know it seems impossible

But you can try

To pick yourself up and fly

On broken wings.

 

Breathing set you free

To fly with your broken wings.

You look forward to living your dreams

Now that you learned to fly on broken wings.

 

You know it’s not impossible

Because you tried

You picked yourself up and flied

On broken wings.

 

Now healing wings…
