From the recording Renaissance
Lyrics
Battered Wing
Gonna take these battered wings and fly
Leave all of this drama far behind
No more holding me down
I won’t stay tethered to the ground
Gonna mend these battered wings and fly
I’m shedding all the sorrow and pain
Like dust it will all be blown away
I’ll soar high above the clouds
I’ll see for miles all around
Gonna mend these battered wings and fly
These wounds have helped me grow
Now it’s time for me to show
That I can fly on my own
Been earth bound far too long
Restraints are finally gone
Stand back these wings are feeling strong
I’ll sail on a constant solar wind
Cruise past the milky way then back to earth again
I might slingshot around Mars, then off to distant stars
Gonna mend these battered wings and fly
These wounds have helped me grow
Now it’s time for me to show
That I can fly on my own
Been earth bound far too long
Restraints are finally gone
Stand back these wings are feeling strong
Oh, I can fly….I’m soaring…oh so high
These wounds have helped me grow
Now it’s time for me to show
That I can fly on my own
Been earth bound far too long
Restraints are finally gone
Stand back these wings are feeling strong
