Today I watched a robin
In our front yard

I thought by now that they should all be gone.
With winter 'round the corner
Snow on its way

Surely something must be wrong.
Then in that old oak tree I finally saw her
Where she sat gazing down upon her mate

And the song that she was singing
Seemed to say "I'll be right here"
"I'd like to go, but your love's made me stay."

He's got a broken wing
And that's why he can't fly
She just can't leave him there

So she stays by his side
They're just like you and me
Oh you should've heard her sing

They won't give up
It's just a broken wing.
I wish we all could learn

What they seem to have found
To love our families
When trouble comes around

I'll bet that God saw fit
To show them unto me
Him on the ground

Her in that tree.
