Broken Wings

Alter Bridge

Fight the fight alone

When the world is full of victims

Dims a fading light

In our souls


Leave the peace alone

Now we all are slowly changing

Dims a fading light

In our souls


In my opinion seeing is to know

The things we hold

Are always first to go

And who's to say

We won't end up alone


On broken wings I'm falling

And it won't be long

The skin on me is burning

By the fires of the sun

On skinned knees

I'm bleeding

And it won't be long

I've got to find that meaning

I'll search for so long


Cry ourselves to sleep

We will sleep alone forever

Will you lay me down

In the same place with all I love


Mend the broken homes

Care for them they are our brothers

Save the fading light in our souls


In my opinion seeing is to know

What you give

Will always carry you

And who's to say

We won't survive it too


On broken wings I'm falling

And it won't be long

The skin on me is burning

By the fires of the sun

On skinned knees

I'm bleeding

And it won't be long

I've got to find that meaning

I'll search for so long



Set a-free all

Relying on their will

To make me all that I am

And all that I'll be


Set a-free all

Will fall between the cracks

With memories of all that I am

And I'll that I'll be


On broken wings I'm falling

And it won't be long

The skin on me is burning

By the fires of the sun

On skinned knees

I'm bleeding

And it won't be long

I've got to find that meaning

I'll search for so long
