On Mended Wings

I loved you then, and you know I love you still
And you were there when I no longer had the will
You held me close when I finally learned to cry.
You picked me up, you gave me strength, and taught me how to fly.

And I thank you. Yes, I thank you...

You calmed the eagle when you heard his lonesome cry.
You healed the sparrow who'd forgotten how to fly
You taught the bluebird who had lost its will to sing.
And you gave me strength to fly on mended wings.

You caught me when I'd fallen from the nest
And you helped me, so you know I loved you best.
And you were there when I needed someone strong
Without your love my life won't be worth living very long

And I thank you. Yes, I thank you...

You calmed the eagle when you heard his lonesome cry.
You healed the sparrow who'd forgotten how to fly
You taught the bluebird who had lost its will to sing.
And you gave me strength to fly on mended wings.
