A Humming Bird With a Broken Wing

by Tracey   Dec 18, 2004


It seems to me that no one cares
Why I don\'t know, but no one shares
I look in the mirror and see a beautiful thing
like a humming bird, but with a broken wing

I know that I have the ability
to walk in and brighten any facility
but it seems like something is trying to attack
yet i'm trying my best to gather myself and fight back

Because I'm gonna make it
but I just can't seem to shake it
some people say,"girl please u aint gon bling"
thats when i realized that im a humming bird with a broken wing

everyone seems to doubt me
all i really want is for them to see
how talented and gifted i am
and they would notice that im as sweet as a lamb

When i look around and see what i could be
I close me eyes and wonder if anyone could learn to understand me
i just hold my head up and continue to do my thing
and try to be a humming bird, but without a broken wing
