Take These Broken Wings

You think I'm so tough
But I never let you see me cry
You think I'm so strong
Though I'm constantly looking to the sky

For answers to my troubles
And support through the stress
For guidance in the darkness
And a helping hand to caress

My shallow heart is broken
The damage has been done
Life is a one-shot deal
There isn't time for a rerun

No time to replay the past
Or time for a second chance
No time to sit this one out
No time for another dance

It's the here and now that matters
Positive thinking is the key
To making it through the darkness
And learning to be free

You must teach yourself to fly
With your fragile, broken wings
Spread them and escape
To a place with simpler things...
