G/B Am G F
A tall tree, turn and face the west

Oh, we're running with the wind

A high cliff-top, we're waiting with the rest
C G C
For this journey to begin
[Chorus]

But these broken wings won't fly

These broken wings won't fly
G/B F G C F C
But these broken wings won't fly at all

Oh, but we have been refused

Girl child, you're dancing with the stream

Growing with the silver trees

Your young questions, you ask me what it means

Oh, but I am not at ease
