The wounded warrior hits the ground

A feather torn broken winged bird 

Feeling the rain as it pours down

In the mindset of the pain observed

Lost sight of all the battles conquered


Hear it now as it stirs to fly

Fear it now as it refuses to die

Wounded bird in its broken cry

Stuck in the mud where it lies

But somehow this bird continues to try

To fly

Away


Heaven has no place for me

Or so it says as it tries to breathe

And hell has no room for me

Or so it says as it tries to flee 

But the darkness shadows its company


Hear it now as it stirs to fly

Fear it now as it refuses to die

Wounded bird in its broken cry

Stuck in the mud where it lies

But somehow this bird continues to try

To fly

Away


Somewhere deep within the forest walls

Within the bending trees a raven calls

Underneath where broken branches fall

A soul fights to rise from it all

Continues fighting even feeling so small


Hear it now as it stirs to fly

Fear it now as it refuses to die

Wounded bird in its broken cry

Stuck in the mud where it lies

But somehow this bird continues to try

To fly

Away


You don't need wings to fly

No need for the sun in the sky

When your soul shines within you fly

You don't need wings to touch the sky

So breathe and don't you fear

The shadows that linger near


Hear it now as it stirs to fly

Fear it now as it refuses to die

Wounded bird in its healing cry

Rising from the mud where it lies

Yes, somehow this bird continues to try

To fly

Away


Hear it now fear it now watch it fly

Away

Watch it rise watch it fly there it flies

Away

Away
