Broken Wings
Villa Black Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Baby, I don't understand
Why we can't just hold on to each other's hands (mmm)
This time might be the last I fear
Unless I make it all too clear
I need you so (oh)

So take these broken wings
And learn to fly again, learn to live so free

And when we hear the voices sing
The book of love will open up and let us in
Take these broken wings

Baby, I think tonight
We can take what was wrong and make it right (mmm)
Baby, it's all I know
That you're half of the flesh and blood makes me whole
I need you so

So take these broken wings
And learn to fly again
Learn to live so free
When we hear the voices sing

The book of love will open up and let us in (yeah, yeah)
Let us in
