Take Heart, You Will Mend.

Tiny bird nursing a broken wing

Never forgot how to fly

Just fell and broke and refused to ask why

Tell me tiny bird, why you won't sing

Someday that wing of yours will heal

Your cries will tell of the purest zeal

So take heart, you too will mend

Tiny dancer pirouetting by firelight

Raised on fairy tales and naive ambition

Her feet kept moving but she never got it right

Tell me pretty dancer, why you stumble

Someday you'll discover what it means to stand still

A loving hand will offer you the master's will

So take heart, you too will mend

Tiny daisy lying trampled underfoot

Grew tall when bathed in the old sun's pride

Then given away by the young and starry-eyed

Tell me disregarded flower, why they ever let you wilt

Someday they'll regret abandoning you

They'll regret taking advantage of you

But take heart, you will mend

And be taught how to grow again.
