Broken Wings

One of the biggest hits of the '80s, the classic song by Mr. Mister combines a catchy bass and synth groove with that distinctly '80s sound. The arrangement features the ensemble throughout, with no solos. It also spotlights the guitar part, with the chorus riff being one of the main elements of the song.

Take these broken wings and learn to fly

Baby, don't understand
Why we can't just hold on to each other's hands?
This time might be the last I fear unless
I make it all too clear I need you so, ohh

Take these broken wings
And learn to fly again, learn to live so free
When we hear the voices sing
The book of love will open up and let us in
Take these broken wings

Baby, I think tonight
We can take what was wrong and make it right
Baby, it's all I know that you're half of the flesh
And blood that makes me whole
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Take these broken wings
And learn to fly again, learn to live so free
When we hear the voices sing
The book of love will open up and let us in,
Let us in!

Take these broken wings
And learn to fly again, learn to live so free
When we hear the voices sing
The book of love will open up and let us in
Why don't you take these, take these broken wings
We've got to learn to fly, learn to live and love so free
Take these broken wings,
Take these broken wings,
Take these broken wings and fly!

(Mr. Mister)
