Broken Wings - the lyrics

Each of the songs in the Phoenix Reborn series is written while listening to music.  While the songs may vary greatly depending upon the scene I am writing and the mood I am in, there is one song that just calls to me for each of the guys.  For Gabriel, it was Mr. Mister's Broken Wings (thus the title).

I actually imagined Nickolas holding Gabriel close to him one night, and as they were falling asleep - he started to sing Broken Wings.  Then I realized, Nickolas can't sing to save his life.

"Broken Wings"

Mr. Mister

Baby, don't understand

Why we can't just hold on to each others' hands

This time might be the last, I fear

Unless I make it all too clear

I need you so, ohh

Take these broken wings

And learn to fly again

Learn to live so free

When we hear the voices sing

The book of love will open up and let us in

Take these broken wings

Baby, I think tonight

We can take what was wrong and make it right, mmm

Baby, it's all I know

That you're half of the flesh

And blood that makes me whole

I need you so

So take these broken wings

And learn to fly again

Learn to live so free

And when we hear the voices sing

The book of love will open up and let us in

Take these broken wings

You've got to learn to fly

Learn to live and love so free

And when we hear the voices sing

The book of love will open up and let us in, yeah, yeah

Let us in

Let us in

Baby, it's all I know

That you're half of the flesh

And blood that makes me whole

Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah

So take these broken wings

And learn to fly again

Learn to live so free

And when we hear the voices sing

The book of love will open up and let us in

Take these broken wings

You've got to learn to fly

Learn to live and love so free

And when we hear the voices sing

The book of love will open up for us and let us in, yeah yeah

Yeah yeah

Ooh
