With Broken Wings
2004

Tiny bird
Lying on the ground, she cries
Mourning for the days when she
Flew free among the clouds

Wind howls
A storm rages overhead
Lightning flashes warning signals
Thunder's deep voice booms
She is lifted by the gale
Tossed around
Struggling for control, but she knows
She can't fly
With broken wings

Fearful retreat
Huddling in the shelter of a thorny bush
She peers frightfully out at the tempest
Watching through unsure eyes
Uncontrollable energy swirls
Not caring who is caught in its backlash
So much destructive power
But she can't stay hidden forever

Tears drying,
She hops out of her sanctuary
Determined to brave the storm,
Ride the wind

I'll show you I can fly
With broken wings...
