Today I watched a robin in our front yard |
|
I thought by now that they should 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 |
|
Ooh |
