A tall tree, turn and face the west O we're running with the wind A high cliff-top, we're waiting with the rest For this journey to begin But these broken wings won't fly These broken wings won't fly at all And oh how we laugh, maybe we should crawl Oh, and ask to be excused We shout loudly, have answers to it all Oh, but we have been refused But these broken wings won't fly These broken wings won't fly at all Girl child, you're dancing with the stream Growing with the silver trees Your young questions, you ask me what it means O but I am not at ease But these broken wings won't fly These broken wings won't fly at all
