Troubled song bird
With a broken wing
Lucky for her 
She can still sing
Walking contradiction
But then here’s the thing
She has an affliction
With an old familiar ring

Troubled song bird
Time and time again
You seem to wind up
At the place where you begin
Got to change the cycle
And let the madness end
Take this sound advice
It’s coming from a friend

Troubled song bird
You don’t have to be
Has the thought occurred?
It should be plain to see
You’re in your own way
Too much of the time
And that’s just to say
With no reason or a rhyme

Troubled song bird
Time will heal your wing
Don’t cha know that time
Heals almost anything
So hold you head up high
It’s time to flap your wings
And head for the sky
‘Cuz you were made to fly
