Broken Wings

Sage Francis

(Chorus)

Shes a fairy with broken wings

I used to watch her perform

And if she hears me I hope she sings songs

That had me going right back

Couldnt find anyone in town to talk

Bout how no one like that

Should be confined to the ground we walk



She glides but just seems like she floats

And these folks decide to crush her wings until there permanently broke

She rides gusts of wind just by the way she spoke

She crys but loves to sing songs of freedom and hope

On the eastside hustling discussing things that we quote

In shallow conversation as if we have deep throats

We chokin on confusion

Now show up as a heat stroke of we need coats

Trading in our cheap jokes for her c notes

I see notes being passed

I ask to see what these creeps wrote

Define silly kids and flying privelages revoke

Ski slopes have been blocked off they cant transit

Had weights tied to her ankles she most definitely cant skip

Down, shes held down by the transripts my hands grip

Tried to tie her wings back on before the ones again clip

Panic stricken, shell remain stuck

On a titantic sinken, shes tryin to stay up

Change her plan thinken its ok

See this is strange but

Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves in a way that kept them chained up

I'd like to see

Her take flight into the stars

Instead of letting her fly free they keep her in jars

Instead of letting fly free they keep em in jars

I put my hand to the glass so hard

It might break the prison bars

It isnt hard to see why they keep her captive

Shes naturally attractive

Speaks with adlibs, shes uncommonly talented

Aint enough adjectives to do her dispotion justice

Kids are wishin for just a kiss and its a mission to touch her lipstick

Cant trust her with

Freedom of movement thats a chance to loose her quick

If she ups and splits

We might as well call that discussion quits

If we's to keep her down the government's underlinks

Enslave people in this town especially if there cultures rich
