Broken Wings
Ikaya Lyrics

Now never give up
Don't ever give up

Even though it's safer
Even if it seems like the safer option

Even though the weight is heavy
Even if the weight of your struggles is unbearable

Managed to lift my hands up
I found the strength to keep going and keep my hands lifted

Jah remove my stumbling blocks
I have faith that God will remove any obstacles in my way

My enemy is faded in the wind
My past struggles and enemies are gone with the wind

Just when arms are crushing my life
When it feels like life is suffocating me

But I never give in
I never give up

Yet still I rise
But I still rise despite everything

Even with my broken wings
Even with my struggles and hardships

I still managed to fly away
I still find a way to keep going and rise above my hardships

With the wings of a prayer
With the power of prayer

I'm determined to survive
I have the determination to keep going

Even through the darkest hour
Even during the toughest times

I still see the light
I still have hope

Even though we go to wuk
Even though we have to work hard

Di little salary no nuff
The low salary isn't enough

Fi go a wuk ah man him cyaan find a pair
Some men struggle to find the right partner because of their work situation

Di food in a di cup and den di pickney dem a bowl
The food in my cup is barely enough for my children

And dem problem dem ah spinning inna mi head like a stereo
My problems are constantly on my mind

Cau' life built fi fair, when did fi pay
Life is meant to be fair, but it's not always the case

Careful a logs weh look a ting a mek it stare
Be careful of false appearances

?? believe dead pon di way
I believe death is on my way

But life close grip but just like the sunrise
Life might seem suffocating, but just like the sunrise, things will get better

I took a look into your eyes
I found hope in your eyes

There I found hope
Hope is what I found

I stare my struggles in the face
I confront my struggles

Coz I ain't scared anymore
Because I am not afraid anymore

I take my prize to my battle
I fight for what is mine

With Jah by my side I am not alone
Because God is with me, I am not alone

I hit my feet against the rail
I hit the ground running

And turn it to my stepping stone
And use it as a stepping stone to success

Sometimes it seems so lonely
Sometimes it feels like I am alone

Seems like the world is caving on me
The world feels like it's crashing down on me

Good chance you're always by me
But I know you're always by my side

You're always by my side
I know you're always there for me

Live life coz Jah is my call
I live my life with God as my guide

And every time I call you answer
Whenever I call on you, you answer

Even in the darkest hour
Even during my toughest times

Yet still I rise
But I still rise despite everything

I still managed to fly away
I still find a way to keep going and rise above my hardships

With the wings of a prayer
With the power of prayer

I'm determined to survive
I have the determination to keep going

Even through the darkest hour
Even during the toughest times

I still see the light
I still have hope
