Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
Oh
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
Baby, 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
I need you so
[Chorus]
So 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, you got to learn to fly
Learn to live, love so free
And when we hear the voices sing
The book of love will open up and let us in, yeah, yeah
[Bridge]
Let us in
Let us in
[Verse 3]
Baby, it's all I know
That you're half of the flesh and blood that makes me whole
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
[Chorus]
So take these broken wings and learn to fly again
Learn to live so free
And when we hear the voices sing
The book of love will open up and let us in
Take these broken wings, you got to learn to fly
Learn to live, to love so free
And when we hear the voices sing
The book of love will open up for us and let us in
Yeah, yeah
[Outro]
Yeah, yeah
Ooh
