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 its way |
|
Surely something must be 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. |
