Lyric Broken Wing
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.
