Broken Angel lyrics

So small, yet still so proud
At night before he dreams he looks into the clouds
A high-flyer's what I want to be
Seems they won't let me
Says I'm too small
I don't feel small at all

Break my dreams
That's what they'll do
Well, I'm going to run away
And learn to fly like you
I'm going to go so high
And swoop so low
You can't bring me down
Going to be so proud

Little angel, you got to learn to fly
Get up and earn your wings tonight
Little angel, just look in my eyes
Get up and earn your wings tonight

Push and shove, then climb aboard
This is the shuttle train to the top of the world
When you look around, what do you see?
These are all high-flyers
But none of these high-flyers look like me

What is that supposed to mean
What am I supposed to be

I pull my way up through this crowd
To find your body crushed on the ground
It's so obvious; why couldn't you see
That you can't go high-flying
Without a pair of high-flyer wings?

Little one's broken lying on the ground
Trying to get up 'till his last breath out
Wings are strewn everywhere; there's blood all around
'Cause even angels die, but that light just fades
It's so sad, but he'd be so proud

Broken angel, you've got to learn to fly
Get up and earn your wings tonight
Broken angel, just look in my eyes
Get up and earn you wings tonight
Get up and earn your wings, earn your wings tonight
