BROKEN WING
words by Greg Webb
music by Greg Webb and Kiki Carter Webb

I follow my feet
Over broken stones
I take the heat
And I bury the bones
I blow down your wall
With an inner rage
I come back for more
Of your empty page

I’m silenced by the very sight of you
World of emotion and the coming blue
Trying to heal this broken wing
That I might fly away before I’m seen
With these tears in my eyes

It’s a hollow age
Circled by our fears
Hearts beat in a cage
And the end seems near
I hear children speak
In an ancient tongue
And the tears they weep
For the wrong we’ve done

I’m silenced by the very sight of you
World of emotion and the coming blue
Trying to heal this broken wing
With the rock and the root
And the songs we sing

I’m silenced by the very sight of you
World of emotion and the coming blue
Clearing of the ruins of our past
That we might find our sacredness at last
And proceed into the light
