I know there's beauty in the burden And even on my darkest day That sun will shine Ooh but right now even though my heart is hurtin' All is as it should be And everything will be alright Hide the sun to see the moon Hear a lie and know the truth Grow a little wiser every day As you grow farther from your youth Silence any melody That doesn't make a joyful sound Even the bird with the broken wing Sings from the ground I know there's a lesson to be learned here That even castles made of stone Will surely fall apart So won't you come now and tell me to have no fear Help me stand up on my own Help me heal this broken heart Close your eyes to hear the song Hold your tongue to speak your mind See a little beauty every day Though you may feel you're goin' blind Have faith in humanity That every lost soul will be found Even the bird with the broken wing Sings from the ground Need to know you're not the only one Who feels lost and lonely darlin' Raise your head up, look at me You are beautiful I hope you see what I see I see starlight in your eyes See the perfect combination of the Universe And I Hide the sun to see the moon Hear a lie and know the truth Grow a little wiser every day As you grow farther from your youth Have faith in humanity That every lost soul will be found Even the bird with the broken wing Even the bird with the broken wing Even the bird with the broken wing Sings from the ground
