2.1 Broken Wings
Verse 1
The bird became bigger and stronger
He was able to fly higher and longer
But one day he came to a thunderstorm
So swept away that he forgot where he came from
Bridge
So the bird met death
A first time
He took him his breath
and the sunshine
broke him his wings
that he was nothing
but flesh, bone and skins
Chorus
The bird with broken wings
Knows that death always wins
He’s frightened of the end
no way to defend
Verse 2
Every beat of its wings was wasted power
the wind tore him further and further
till he couldn’t any more and fell down
he cried to the sky but there is no help to be found
Interlude
The cloudy day became a dark night
he was still on the ground with the end in sight
but still he possesses a will to live
so he raised himself up again, up on his feet
instead of flying he learnt how to walk
he does what he says when others just talk
