Hilary Bagley sings about a woman with a broken wing who keeps watching the sky and carrying her dreams anyway. Her lover dismisses those dreams, she skips church on Sunday morning, and a nun watches from a window. The song uses the broken wing to show how someone can still aspire and fly despite being hurt.
down, then come loving up on her. Give a little, then take it back. She'd tell him about her dreams, he'd just shoot her down. Lord, he loved to make her cry. You're crazy for believing you'll never leave the ground. He said only angels know how to fly.
And with a broken wing, she still sings.
She keeps an eye on the sky.
With a broken wing, she carries her dreams.
And One Sunday morning, she didn't go to church.
He wondered why she didn't leave. He went up to the bedroom, found a nun by the window with the curtain blowing in the breeze. And with the broken wing, she still sings.
She keeps an eye on the sky.
With a broken wing, she carries her dreams. Then you ought to see her fly.
With a broken wing, she carries her dreams.
Then you ought to see her fly.
