Secret Window

I feel like a bird with a broken wing
Damaged by all the bad I've seen
I want to fly away with you now and feel new things
But I get frustrated I can't yet, so I let off steam

Sometimes I feel trapped, up on a beam
High above a crowded scene
Reluctant to move. for I fear I'll fall
I know I can't fly all the way yet, so I stall

I make up excuses to change the focus
I can't stand my condition, so I try not to let anyone notice
I hide it inside like there's nothing wrong
But sometimes the list can get really long

Please understand when it happens
And just sit with me here
Sometimes I will need you to dry my tears
Stay by my side as I learn how to glide
Help me one step at a time. so we can finally fly
