Spread your wings, little broken angel.
Spread your wings and shelter the hurting.
Forget the storm at your back,
Forget the beating on your arms,
Forget the world on your shoulders.

Root yourself.
Be a rock.
Be the one they need.

Worry not, little broken angel.
Be what you can.

Pull your pieces together,
Fill in the cracks.
Hold on.
Hold on for them.

Spread your wings, little angel.
Do what you can.
Spread your wings and shelter the hurting.
