Subject: Lyr Add: BORN WITH A BROKEN WING (Katy Moffatt)
Katy Moffatt has a great song called BORN WITH A BROKEN WING on her Greatest Show on Earth album, easy chords and like all her songs, a joy to sing...

See the snow geese up on high flying north in perfect line
Hear the cry of lonliniess of the one they left behind
He is calling for his brothers as they fly north in the spring
He is bound on earth to sing for he was born with a broken wing

Chorus:   He was born with a broken wing but he'll fly thru his dreams
                He'll close his eyes and sing, tho he was born w/a broken wing

Some are born weak in the heart, some weak in the mind
Some they have no legs to walk, but all are born to fly
They ask not for sympathy, just the freedom of their dreams
The lame shall walk, the blind shall see,
for they were born with broken wings

Chorus (They were born....)

Like that lonely snow goose, I have learned to make my way
I've survived the seasons, I'm on my own today
We may live close to the ground but songs are made of dreams
Just listen to the singer sing, for she was born with a broken wing

Chorus (We were born....)
