[Verse] The little bird sat on the edge of the sky They told him to fly They told him to try But his feathers were torn His dreams turned to ash How do you soar when you’re caught in the crash [Chorus] They broke his wings They stole his air Left him to fight a world unfair But still he sings A quiet cry How do you fly when you're bound to the sky [Verse 2] He watched the clouds They whispered his name They promised freedom But he stayed the same A cage of whispers A heart of stone How do you escape when you're all alone [Prechorus] The wind won't carry what’s weighed with pain The sun won't shine on a bird in chains [Chorus] They broke his wings They stole his air Left him to fight a world unfair But still he sings A quiet cry How do you fly when you're bound to the sky [Bridge] The stars They blinked Said it’s not the end A broken bird can still ascend With fractured feathers With battered pride A heart can heal And learn to glide
