Today I watched a robin
In our front yard
I thought by now that they schold all be gone.
With winter `round the corner
Snow on it`s way
Surely their must be something wrong.
Then in that old oak tree I finally saw her
Where she sat gazing down upon her mate
And the song that she was singing
Seemed to say `i`ll be right here`
`i`d like to go, but your love`s made me stay.`
He`s got a broken wing
And that`s why he can`t fly
She just can`t leave him there
So she stays by his side
They`re just like you and me
Oh you should`ve heard her sing
They won`t give up
It`s just a broken wing.
I wish we all could learn
What they seem to have found
To love our families
When trouble comes around
I`ll bet that God saw fit
To show them unto me
Him on the ground
Her in that tree.
He`s got a broken wing
And that`s why he can`t fly
She just can`t leave him there
So she stays by his side
They`re just like you and me
Oh you should`ve heard her sing
They won`t give up
We won`t give up
They won`t give up
It`s just a broken wing.
Ooooooooh...
It`s just a broken wing.
