Long ago I was flying in the air
Looking at the sea below, I was hunting krill
Diving down, in a flash, I'd scoop 'em up
Thrashing in my mandible, it was such a thrill
Me, my friends, we were killers
Now I'm just a bird with a broken wing
And I still have a song to sing
Turning night to day, warbling clouds away
I'm just a bird with a broken wing
And this beautiful song to sing
Don't feel sad for me, I'm right where I wanna be
The stupid cat, always sneaking up on me
Thinking I would be his meal, 'til I slipped up and away
Singing out
The melody came endlessly
High or low, I felt so free
I had something to say
But he'll never catch my melody
Though I'm just a bird with a broken wing
And I still have a song to sing
Turning night to day, warbling clouds away
I'm just a bird with a broken wing
And the beautiful song to sing
Don't feel sad for me
I'm right where I wanna be
Nothing matters in the world and everyone is free
But I'll belong to you if you believe in me
Nothing matters in the world and everyone is free
But I'll belong to you if you believe in me
I'm just a bird with a broken wing
And I still have a song to sing
Turning night to day, warbling clouds away
I'm just a bird with a broken wing
And the beautiful song to sing
Don't feel sad for me, I'm right where I wanna be
