Wounded Wings

©1996 Nick Robinson (FTH Ch 7, pg 98)

.

I found a bird with a wounded wing and nursed it back to health again

I healed its wounds and gave it strength, and then so soon away it went

I guess it seems it goes to show

With wounded wings they’re bound to go

And I guess it means it’s safe to say

Heal wounded wings - they’ll fly away

For a wounded wing on a crying bird, unable to sing but trying to be heard

Is like a wounded wing on a baby dove just trying to sing it’s songs of love

And to heal these wounds is my disease as the doctor of this aviary

I perform my knack of surgery and nurse them back so caringly

But I guess it seems it goes to show

With wounded wings they’re bound to go

And I guess it means it’s safe to say

Heal wounded wings - they’ll fly away

And sometimes I’ll hear the distant sound that these birds are still around

Sailing in along a searing breeze they sing their songs of being freed

But none stop in to sing hello, just spread their wings and off they go

But I remember what I did and how they got all I could give

So I guess it seems it goes to show

With wounded wings they’re bound to go

And I guess it means it’s safe to say

Heal wounded wings…they’ll fly away
