Flies with a broken wing
She's ever so graceful, so like an angel
But I see, tears flow quietly
The struggle she's seen this spring
When nothing comes dancing
Paying a handsome fee
And still she smiles at me
And I can't take it
No, I can't help but wonder
Why do we sacrifice the beautiful ones?
How do you break a heart of gold?
Why do we sacrifice our beautiful souls?
Heroes of tales unsung, untold
Sweet as an angel sings
She gives though she has none left
But the last one, free, unhesitatingly
And I am humbled
I'm a broken mirror
And I can't help but wonder
Why do we sacrifice the beautiful ones?
How do you break a heart of gold?
Why do we sacrifice our beautiful souls?
Heroes of tales unsung, untold
Why do we sacrifice the beautiful ones?
Why when they walk with love alone?
Why do we sacrifice our beautiful souls?
Just trying to find their way home
