Lyrics
Flightless Birds by Dawn Sinclair 1. Every talent we are given is a feather in the wing Everyone we meet in life are blessed for what they bring We don't have to do it all alone when there are angels standing by But we’ve all been given our own wings And it’s up to us to fly chorus There's nothing more tragic than the plight of flightless birds and nothing’s more pointless than speaking silent words If we hide our light from everyone whether large or small then we’re not using our wings to fly so why have them at all? 2. There are people who are starving There are others getting fat There are those who are indifferent Tell me, what's the use of that? We don't have to walk the Earth alone If we just reach out our hand It's easy if you think of the world as one united land bridge where everyone has wings and everyone could fly if only they had courage to soar into the sky chorus There's nothing more tragic than the plight of flightless birds and nothing’s more pointless than speaking silent words If we hide our light from everyone whether large or small then we’re not using our wings to fly so why have them at all? outtro Flightless birds come spread your wings Flightless birds come spread your wings

Hi Dawn, I'd like you and Dawn S to make me an album of songs like "Flightless Birds" and "The Whole Of You" for me to listen to on days when I need it, like today. God bless you both, and your sweet music. It just keeps getting better and better. Loadsa love, Ron

Hugsssss sweetie, I am giving up writing, Dawn has just blown me from the face of the planet with this one. No hope of catching her now lol. j/k Love the simpleness of the arrangement and its a sweet acoustic that you bring to this. As always, you continue to amaze me with the range , and the strength in those ranges, and the delivery here was lovely. Caps off to both of you, love Anton.

I know that sometimes we get overindulgent and simply do something for ourselves, not really expecting anyone else to get it. This is a lyric that I didn't expect anyone to want to handle because it was written for me by me ...you did take it and make a most beautiful song from it and I could not be more happy with the results, my darling friend. You're simply the best! Thanks a million xxxx
