Born with a broken wing Lyrics

Tom Russell
Miscellaneous
Born with a broken wing
See the snowgeese up on high
flying north in perfect line
Hear the wail of loneliness
from the one they left behind
He’s calling for his brothers
as they fly north in the spring
He is bound on earth to sing
for he was born with a broken wing

(Ch.)
He was born with a broken wing
but he’ll fly through his dreams
He’ll close his eyes and sing
though he was born with a broken wing

Some are born weak in the heart
and some weak in the mind
Some they have no legs to walk
but all are born to fly
They ask not for sympathy
just the freedom of their dreams
The lame shall walk, the blind shall see
though they were born with broken wings

(Ch.)
They were born with broken wings
but they’ll fly through their dreams
They’ll close their eyes and sing
though they were born with broken wings

Like that lonely snowgoose
I have learned to make my way
I’ve survived the seasons
I’m on my own today
We may live close to the ground
but songs are made of dreams
Just listen to the people sing
though all were born with broken wings

(Ch.)
We were born with broken wings
but we’ll fly through our dreams
We’ll close our eyes and sing
though we were born with broken wings
We’ll close our eyes and sing
though we were born with broken wings
