Lyrics Broken Wings - Alter Bridge

Broken Wings

Fight the fight alone
When the world is full of victims
Dims a fading light in our souls
Leave the peace alone
How 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 afree all
Relying on their will
To make me all that I am
And all I’ll be
Set afree 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
