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
