Story behind the song
I was tired of hearing everybody's story about their lives of regret. "I didn't finish school...", "I had a family too early...", "I should have never gotten married..." I was like okay. How can you look forward to a bright tomorrow when you keep looking into a dark past of regret. It was time to help them break free...therefore, Broken Wings was born.
Lyrics
Broken Wings Written by John Redmon, Ellen Cherry, George Scott Davis, Jr., Donnie Stanley, Jr. I tried to fly with broken wings By living in shattered dreams. Jagged pieces everywhere. “Dream again” do I dare? Trying to fly with broken wings. Picking up the pieces through pain-blinded eyes. My demise was no surprise. Will the sun ever shine again? Will I lose or will I win Trying to fly with broken wings? (I) My world is crumbling all around. Broken spirits have left me on the ground. The very thing that I prayed for Not to come to pass. It has come a’las. A’las! (II) Strangely familiar yet familiarly strange. I need hope again. I’m in desperate need of a change. If it’s true that weeping endures only a night Then this is has been the longest, coldest night. And if it’s true it’s darkest just before the dawn Will the dawn ever come? (Tag) Then I found you. Adonai. You gave me a brand new song to sing Because I’ve found healing in Your wings. No more to fly with broken wings. No more living in shattered dreams Jagged pieces have disappeared Because my vision has become so clear. No more to fly with broken wings I’m soaring higher ever than I did before. I can see over the mountains and so much more. Now the most important thing I’m in the shadow of Your wings. No more to fly with broken wings. 2001 John P.
