Analysis of A Broken Wing
I am a bird with broken wing
I cannot fly, but I can tweet
I watched my friends flying
I can only sing with my one wing
My voice low and soft
Not to annoyed old friends with a wing
Well, well it is well to be calm
Hope and despair all in there
I am from a land of far away
I landed here with a broken wing
If anyone wish to share the gorge of life
Can only hum with soft voice
The fate and destiny can change
When kind and keen mending a broken wing
Going back to a valley with full of thorns
It would be painful with one wing
I am whispering when things get hard
I can only hum with soft voice
