Lyrics
(Verse 1)
Cracked asphalt beneath my feet, echoes in the empty street
City lights blur as tears I weep, on this boulevard of sleep
Dreamed in colors, bold and bright, a future bathed in golden light
But every effort, every fight, just faded into darkest night
(Chorus)
Shattered dreams upon the floor, trophies of what might have been before
Pick up the pieces, hearts worn sore, gotta find a way to rise once more
Though the scars may never mend, gotta find a reason to ascend
Broken wings, but I'll pretend, I can fly again, I can fly again
(Verse 2)
Bloodshot eyes and restless soul, nights adrift with stories untold
Haunted by ambitions bold, a past that glittered, turned to cold
Climbed the mountains, crossed the seas, defied the odds on bended knees
But fickle fate, on mocking breeze, whispered, "This just wasn't meant to be"
(Chorus)
Shattered dreams upon the floor, trophies of what might have been before
Pick up the pieces, hearts worn sore, gotta find a way to rise once more
Though the scars may never mend, gotta find a reason to ascend
Broken wings, but I'll pretend, I can fly again, I can fly again
(Bridge)
Maybe the path I sought was wrong, maybe the fight went on too long
But the fire within still burns so strong, a flicker begging to belong
(Chorus)
Shattered dreams upon the floor, trophies of what might have been before
Pick up the pieces, hearts worn sore, gotta find a way to rise once more
Though the scars may never mend, gotta find a reason to ascend
Broken wings, but I'll pretend, I can fly again, I can fly again
(Outro)
So I'll mend these wings, though frayed and torn, and rise above the weathered morn
The broken dreams, a lesson learned, a strength rebuilt, a spirit yearned
I'll fly again, I'll fly again, on wings of hope, I'll fly again
