Lyrics & music: LeAnn Rimes 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 it’s waysurely there must be something wrong

Then in an 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 wait”

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 family when trouble comes around
I’ll bet that God saw fit to show them unto me
Him on the ground her in the tree

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
We won’t give up
They won’t give up
It’s just a broken wing

Oooh…it’s just a broken wing
