Broken Feathers Lyrics

Broken feathers
A broken heart
How you flew so high and fell so hard
And all my life I only knew you
As a bird that sang a broken song
For so long

Broken feathers
A broken home
How you stitched our wings so it wouldn't show
Now we've all flown from the tree
Our blind eyes open now
And we pray to set you free
Broken Heart

You're still waiting for a soaring wind
Still hoping for a new life to live
Well someday you may discover there's power in those gentle wings
If you could only see

Broken feathers
A broken heart
May you find your peace tonight
Let it go
Lay it down
You'll find your day
To fly away

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
