Verse #1:
They say the bird who's wing was broken,
Will fly, ever so high to the
You say the eagle who's fallen,
Will never die. I cry

Chorus:
Closer to You, though I fall and break my wings
Closer to You, through each of my mistakes It brings me
Closer to You, though my body aches in pain
Closer to You, this broken body take again¦

Verse #2:
They say it's You--the hurt and the pain too...
But I say, it's me, slipping into insanity.
You say, that by breaking my leg I will gain;
It's unclear to me, so that's why I bleed!

Chorus:
Closer to You, though I fall and break my wings
Closer to You, through each of my mistakes It brings me
Closer to You, though my body aches in pain
Closer to You, this broken body take again¦

Why do I bleed?
Why do I cry?
Why do I scream?
Why do I die?

Through these feelings of pain and hurt
As I crawl onwards through the dirt
Attempting too see, attempting rebirth
attempting to find blessing in curse!
I am now beggining to see a distant light,
I am now beggining to understand this fight
As I comprehend, as I emerge
Rising above to new heights I surge

Chorus:
Closer to You, though I fall and break my wings
Closer to You, through each of my mistakes It brings me
Closer to You, though my body aches in pain
Closer to You, this broken body take again¦..
