|
The lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall i fear? |
|
The lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall i be afraid? |
|
When the wicked came against me to eat up my flesh |
|
My enemies and foes, they stumbled and fell |
|
Though an army may encamp against me |
|
My heart shall not fear |
|
Though war may rise against me |
|
In this i will be confident |
|
[darius] |
|
I will survive |
|
[chorus] |
|
Take, these broken wings (these broken wings) |
|
And let them fly again |
|
And let them live so free (you taught me how to fly, fly) |
|
When we hear, the voices sing |
|
The book of love will open up, and let us in |
|
[foxy brown] |
|
Feel like i've got this black cloud hangin' over me |
|
It's like this pain is takin' control of me |
|
Every move i make, determines my fate |
|
Feel like i'm dying slow, and that's the shit i hate |
|
The constant pressure, the bullshit rumors |
|
The outcast, i'm the one they love to badge |
|
When the records stop sellin' |
|
And the crowds stop yellin' |
|
All i have is me |
|
Bet you thought i'd die without you |
|
But see how i'm still living |
|
Thought that i would self destruct |
|
But i'm still here, with another one |
|
Even though i felt crumbled, i made it through the rumble |
|
Torn apart, a young woman scorned |
|
Coping with the pain, nearly drove me insane |
|
In the hospital, crying in the pain |
|
All types of medications, flowing through my veins |
|
[chorus: darius] |
|
Take, these broken wings (these, broken, wings) |
|
And let them fly again |
|
And let them live so free |
|
When we hear, the voices sing (i will learn, i will learn, how to fly) |
|
The book of love will open up, and let us in |
|
[foxy brown] |
|
Please, understand i'm a human first |
|
And before foxy brown, i'm just still inga |
|
And my family, is my whole life |
|
And i cherish this ring that you put on my finger |
|
We survived through the roughest stones |
|
Sleeping with our baby pit bull on the basement floors |
|
And through it all, you and i felt we could be strong |
|
All through the rough times, through the pains and storms |
|
And, it's like when it rains, it pours |
|
All they see is gray and blue, they don't know you like i do |
|
Five years committed, y'all just don't understand |
|
No career, no fame, meant more than my man |
|
And, to my fans that slept through it all |
|
Through the rise and the fall, i love y'all all |
|
Even when i nearly lost my mind |
|
Some remained loyal, ignored the headlines and |
|
[chorus: darius] |
|
Take, these broken wings (take, these broken wings) |
|
And let them fly again |
|
And let them live so free (let em fly, let em fly) |
|
When we hear, the voices sing (voices sing) |
|
The book of love will open up, and let us in |
|
[foxy brown] |
|
Story of my legacy, this can't be life |
|
Lord, i feel like i'm fallin' |
|
Praying for strength, i'm losing my mind |
|
And, how can you fly when your wings are broken? |
|
And, how can i smile when my heart is broken? |
|
Through all the pain i've felt, that's the hand i'm dealt |
|
My personal problem, stays in my home |
|
Know i won't discuss them, reporters i don't trust 'em |
|
[chorus: darius] |
|
Take, these broken wings (these broken wings) |
|
And let them fly again |
|
And let them live so free (i wanna see them fly) |
|
When we hear, the voices sing |
|
The book of love will open up, and let us in |
|
Take, these broken wings (take these broken wings) |
|
And let them fly again (oohh) |
|
And let them live so free (let them live so free, so free) |
|
When we hear, the voices sing (yeahh) |
|
The book of love will open up, and let us in |
|
[darius] |
|
Teach me how to fly |
|
(ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh-ooh) |
|
Teach me how to fly |
|
I believe, in the power, of love |
|
(ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh) |
|
Can't you hear me, don't you hear me? |
|
(ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh-ooh) |
|
I'm calling out to you |
|
Foxy help me sing |
|
(ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh) |
|
These broken wings |
|
*fades* |
