Long ago I was flyin´ in the air Lookin´ at the sea below, I was huntin´ krill Divin´ down, in a flash, I´d scoop ´em up Thrashin´ 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 sneakin´ up on me Thinkin´ I would be his meal, ´til I slipped up and away Singing out (Wow), the melody came endlessly (Wow) High or low, I felt so free (Wow), I had somethin´ to say (Wow)
But he´ll never catch my melody
Though I´m just a bird with a broken wing (Ah) And I still have a song to sing (Ah) Turning night to day (Ah), warbling clouds away (Ah) I´m just a bird with a broken wing (Ah) And this beautiful song to sing (Ah) Don´t feel sad for me (Ah), I´m right where I wanna be (Ah)
Nothin´ matters in the world and everyone is real But I´ll belong to you if you believe in me Nothin´ matters in the world and everyone is real (Ooh, ooh) But I´ll belong to you if you believe in me
I´m just a bird with a broken wing (Ah) And I still have a song to sing (Ah)
Turning night to day (Ah), warbling clouds away (Ah) I´m just a bird with a broken wing (Ah) And this beautiful song to sing (Ah) Don´t feel sad for me (Ah), I´m right where I wanna be (Ah)
