Broken Wings
By Rebekah Mannering
She gazes down at him
There in the picture
Her beautiful baby
Beautiful boy
Where are those days now
Where did they go to
Memories to cherish
Her heart will hold on to
Filled with pain and tormented by their plight
She closes her eyes
Kisses the picture and whispers
Wake up sunshine
Dear god
Mend his broken wings
Help him escape his past sins
I feel like I failed him
Catch him he's falling
I prayed by his side
But I couldn't see
The short time we had before he was snatched from me
I tried to believe it was all a dream
without him it's killing me
Dear god
Mend his broken wings
Help him escape his past sins
I feel like I failed him
Catch him he's falling
How deep can I go into my dreams
I'd pull you out and keep you safely here with me
Dear god
Mend his broken wings
Help him escape his past sins
I feel like I failed him
Catch him he's falling
She gazes down at him
There in the picture
Her beautiful baby
beautiful boy
Where are those days now
Where did they go to
Memories to cherish
Her heart will hold on to
Filled with pain and tormented by their plight
She closes her eyes
Kisses the picture and whispers
Sleep tight, my sunshine
