A tall tree, turn and face the west Oh we're running with the wind On high cliff top we're waiting with the rest For this journey to begin And these broken wings won't fly These broken wings won't fly These broken wings won't fly at all See how we laugh, maybe we should crawl And beg to be excused We shout loudly, have 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, you're dancing with the wind Growing with the silver trees Your young questions, you ask me what it means But 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 A tall tree, turn and face the west Oh we're running with the wind On high cliff top we're waiting with the rest For this journey to begin And these broken wings won't fly These broken wings won't fly These broken wings won't fly at all These broken wings won't fly These broken wings won't fly These broken wings won't fly
