broken wings

Switchfoot

I ve seen these nights before
Oh
They always leave me looking for more
Oh
There s an emptiness
Like a fighter s fist
That I hide inside
But tonight I can t ignore
Could you show me what these broken wings are for?
Could we start right now?
I m coming back to life
Could we shout out loud
The way we feel inside?

Cause I don t want to hide my wings any more
Tonight I embrace that flight and I soar
Could you show me what these broken wings are for?

Coming up from the ocean floor
Oh
I m a wave crashing onto your shore
Oh
Cause it s nights like this
When my wings are fists
I could swear that I was born for something more
Could you show me what these broken wings are for?
Could we start right now?
I m coming back to life
Could you take these wings
And help me learn to fly?

Could you help me with these broken wings
And I ll fight what the poison brings
Till I fly on these broken wings
And I fight what the poison brings
Cause I know what these broken wings are for
