Today I watched a robin In our front yard I thought by now that they schold all be gone.
With winter ´round the corner Snow on its way Surely something must be wrong. Then in that 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 stay."
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 families When trouble comes around I´ll bet that God saw fit To show them unto me Him on the ground Her in that 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
