I feel like a bird with a broken wing
Damaged by all the bad that I’ve seem
I want to fly away and feel new things
But I get frustrated I can’t yet, so I let off steam
Sometimes I feel trapped, up on a beam
High above a crowded scene
Reluctant to move, for I fear I’ll fall
I know I can’t fly all the way yet, so I stall
I make up excuses to change the focus
I can’t stand my condition, so I try not to let anyone notice
I hide it inside like there’s nothing wrong
But sometimes the list can get really long
Please understand when it happens
And just sit with me here
Sometimes I will need you to dry my tears
Stay by my side as I learn how to glide
Help me one step at a time, so we can finally fly
