Broken Wings
Mr. Master Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can’t resist a broken wing
It’s a weakness in my heart
I want to mend this fragile thing
Before it’s torn apart
I’ve got a history of empathy
With the person in decay
I let them in, the down-and-out
The waif and the stray
A broken wing is all you need to
To catch my eye
It’s a kind of kindness, my heart to bleed
And I don’t even know why
Take advantage all you like
I’m a well of feel-good vibes
Generosity tends to spiike
When I feel I’m improving lives
I wish I could resist the urge
To lift you higher than me
But needs must, just say the words
And we could both be free
A broken wing is all you need to
To catch my eye
It’s a kind of kindness, my heart to bleed
And I don’t even know why
Broken wing
Broken wing
Broken wing
Broken wing
Broken wing
Broken wing
Broken wing
Broken wing
A broken wing is all you need to
To catch my eye
To catch my eye
It’s a kind of kindness, my heart to bleed
And I don’t even know why
I don’t know why
A broken wing is all you need to
To catch my eye
To catch my eye
It’s a kind of kindness, my heart to bleed
And I don’t even know why




I don’t know why
I don’t know why

Cannot believe this song is almost 40 years old, yet it sounds like it could have come out yesterday. Truly a timeless classic.

@schumifan78

This song is way too good to have come out yesterday..

@nicholashylton6857

Hopefully, but I doubt it. This kind of tune isn't commercial anymore.

@lianalonge1984

It feels like such a privilege to have grown up in the 80s. We may not have had the technology then as we do today, but the music, fashion, and creativity were the best. 🥰

@jamela6357

Yes!! I agree it was a great time. I'm a #78baby and #80sraised #bestdecadeever

@davidbarr56

Well said I agree 100%

@lianalonge1984

@@jamela6357 👊🏽 I’m a #70baby and #80teen. Movies like The Breakfast Club, Sixteen Candles, Weird Science, Heathers, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, and others bring back so many good memories of being a teen. And recent movies/mini series like WW1984, Stranger Things, and The Wedding Singer are near and dear to my heart. 😁❤️

@seattlebeast6165

I've always wanted to go back in time to live in the 80s
