Like a songbird with a broken wing
Who cannot fly but only sing
Like a songbird with a broken wing
Who cannot fly but only sing
Who sings in hope but stops in vain
For all that the songbird has known is pain
But when shadows creep through the night
The songbird is shown glowing starlight
Hope and love he once again sings for
The songbird knows he is alone no more
What is worth
If you don’t understand
How you are valued
If some say they hate
And others say they love
How can you see the truth
If you ignore that
Both can coexist
Some people claim to know you best
Better than you know yourself
Yet you show them a single side
And simply hide all of the rest
They claim to know the the way you walk
The secrets behind the words you talk
The thoughts that flash behind your eyes
Yet every one of those is lies
To tell the truth or tell a lie
To walk through fires or sleep and cry
To fall in love and stay safe in pain
To forget and wait in vain
They claim to see the things you hide
The parts of you that don’t see light
The secret thoughts and drooping dreams
The water drops through wilting seams
When all breaks loose and you are out
They realize and start to doubt
They ask and ask about why you lied
But all your trust for them has died
