They’re broken
She can no longer fly
She spoke the unspoken
Everyone asked why
She held up her head
When her world was crashing down
She was brave
She stood tall
We watched her cave
We watched her fall
She bled and bled
Without a frown
We don’t understand
She had such grace
She ruled this land
She left this place
What a catastrophe
Such a surprise
She carried beauty
Why did she leave
This wasn’t her duty
Now we grieve
She lived with agony
We didn't see it in her eyes
Everybody sings
We wish she had woken
Her wings
They’re now broken

They’re broken
She can no longer fly
She spoke the unspoken
Everyone asked why
She held up her head
When her world was crashing down
She was brave
She stood tall
We watched her cave
We watched her fall
She bled and bled
Without a frown
We don’t understand
She had such grace
She ruled this land
She left this place
What a catastrophe
Such a surprise
She carried beauty
Why did she leave
This wasn’t her duty
Now we grieve
She lived with agony
We didn't see it in her eyes
Everybody sings
We wish she had woken
Her wings
They’re now broken
