Today I watched a robin
In our front yard
I thought by now that they schold all be gone.
With winter ´round the corner
Snow on its way
Surely something must be wrong.
Then in that old oak tree I finally saw her
Where she sat gazing down upon her mate
And the song that she was singing
Seemed to say "i´ll be right here"
"I´d like to go, but your love´s made me stay."

He´s got a broken wing
And that´s why he can´t fly
She just can´t leave him there
So she stays by his side
They´re just like you and me
Oh you should´ve heard her sing
They won´t give up
It´s just a broken wing.

I wish we all could learn
What they seem to have found
To love our families
When trouble comes around
I´ll bet that God saw fit
To show them unto me
Him on the ground
Her in that tree.

He´s got a broken wing
And that´s why he can´t fly
She just can´t leave him there
So she stays by his side
They´re just like you and me
Oh you should´ve heard her sing
They won´t give up
We won´t give up
They won´t give up
It´s just a broken wing.

Ooooooooh...
It´s just a broken wing.
