Broken Wing

Today I watched a robin in our front yard
I thought by now that they should all be gone
With winter 'round the corner, snow on its way
Surely something must be wrong

Then in that old oak tree I finally saw her
Where she sat gazing down upon her mate
And the song that she was singing
Seemed to say, "I'll be right here
"I'd like to go but your love's made me stay"

He's got a broken wing
And that's why he can't fly
She just can't leave him there
So she stays by his side

They're just like you and me
Oh, you should've heard her sing
They won't give up
It's just a broken wing

I wish we all could learn
What they seem to have found
To love our families
When trouble comes around

I'll bet that God saw fit
To show them unto me
Him on the ground
Her in that tree

He's got a broken wing
And that's why he can't fly
She just can't leave him there
So she stays by his side

They're just like you and me
Oh, you should've heard her sing
They won't give up, we won't give up
They won't give up, it's just a broken wing

Ooh
