Lyrics
Broken Bird
You say you feel, like a duck in the dessert
Like a fish in the road, like a sheep in a sweater
I don?t know, but I heard it gets better
If you stand up & fight, when they?re pluckin? your feathers
Broken bird, you must keep flyin?
Don?t give it up
You gotta keep on tryin?
Spread your wings, & quit your cryin?
Don?t you know, you got a long way to go
I remember a time, Lord I had it too
I was lost & pathetic, I was just like you.
Till I pulled my head up, yelled cock-doodle-doo
Shook my tail feathers, & I felt brand new
Broken bird, you must keep flyin?
Don?t give it up
You gotta keep on tryin?
Spread your wings, & quit your cryin?
Don?t you know, you got a long way to go
Broken bird, quit your pinin?
Behind those clouds, the sun?s still shinin?
Spread your wings, & quit your cryin?
Don?t you know, you got a long way to go
