BROKEN WINGS


Tall tree, turn and face the waves,
Are we running with the wind?
On high cliff top, we are waiting with the rains
For this journey to begin...

And these broken wings won't fly,
These broken wings won't fly,
These broken wings wont fly at all.....

See how we laugh...
Maybe we should call and beg to be excused....
We shout loudly with answers to it all,
But we have been refused...

And these broken wings won't fly,
These broken wings won't fly,
These broken wings won't fly at all.....

Girl child dancing with the wind,
Growing with the silver tree....
Your young questions, you ask me what it means,
Vut I am not at ease...

And these broken wings won't fly,
These broken wings won't fly,
These broken wings won't fly at all.....
