Long ago, I was flying in the air
Looking at the sea below, I was hunting krill
Diving down, in a flash I'd scoop 'em up
Thrashing in my mandible
It was such a thrill
Me and my friends, we were killers
Now I'm just a bird with a broken wing
But I still have a song to sing
Turning night to day, warbling clouds away
I'm just a bird with a broken wing
And this beautiful song to sing
Don't feel sad for me
I'm right where I want to be
The stupid cat, always sneaking up on me
Thinking I would be his meal
'Til I slipped up and away
Singing out, the melody came endlessly
High or low, I felt so free
I had something to say
But he'll never catch my melody
Oh, I'm just a bird with a broken wing
And I still have a song to sing
Turning night to day, warbling clouds away
I'm just a bird with a broken wing
And this beautiful song to sing
Don't feel sad for me
I'm right where I want to be
Nothing matters in the world
And everyone is free
But I'll belong to you if you believe in me
Nothing matters in the world
And everyone is free
But I'll belong to you if you believe in me
I'm just a bird with a broken wing
But I still have a song to sing
Turning night to day, warbling clouds away
I'm just a bird with a broken wing
And this beautiful song to sing
Don't feel sad for me
I'm right where I want to be
