Analysis of Broken Wings
Captivated by your sincere but sweet smile
cause you knew all the while
angels fly among us soaring with their wings
the furtherance of swift monumental discovery amidst a rush
a push toward sullen brevity amidst its calamity
in certain circles we are warned to curse the very day we were born
yet I lay here torn caught in the middle playing second fiddle
life is a puzzles almost an innate riddle
we seek solace in the heaven's above the sky
soaring peaks drifting ever more across the sea
there lies the mystery a cause to believe
a bird with broken wings perched in the undertow
exposed to the elements of disease with such a time like these
turn the lights down low and take a seat
learn to laugh and smile
hide away from the ignorance of the day
where people are lost strangers from far away
you know it never had to be this way
ever since the fall the devil had his way leaving people out for prey
come closer and lend me an ear
try to shed a single tear to help numb the inner pain
not having you in my arms is driving me insane
on these broken wings we can learn to sing
sweat from our glands will remind us to bring
solace as that in a new born child
when your out getting a little bit wild
speak in your native tongue dear to our hearts
then you will light the inner spark to what it is that we have been waiting for
a vast radiant night with couples plunging into the surface of the deep
light radiating an impulse to share matters of the heart searching for love
broken wings are being tested as if grafted in again to explain the furtherance of love's light
