Like a bird she was wounded
|
A prisoner he found
|
He kept her beside him on the ground
|
She wanted him to release her
|
But he didn? want her to fly
|
He had come to depend on seeing her cry
|
|
CHORUS
|
He cut her wings
|
But she could still sing
|
He didn't see he could never stop her heart
|
|
Just like in a cage he kept her
|
But inside she grew strong
|
And in some ways it was nice
|
to have a place to belong
|
But freedom called in its own way
|
soft moonlit nights in her thoughts
|
And the war raged on inside
|
that she always fought
|
|
CHORUS
|
|
Ah, the love that plays in the strangest ways
|
She felt his warm embrace like fire inside her
|
And when the day would break, it seemed
|
her heart would shake
|
But she knew he had her soul at stake
|
|
CHORUS
|
|
Like a bird she was wounded
|
A prisoner he found
|
But time was running out, he couldn't
|
keep her down
|
So one day he released her
|
Thinking that she wouldn't go
|
But how she was able to fly
|
was something he'd never know
|
|
CHORUS
|

Never Stop Her Heart
