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
