Karla Bonoff - Never Stop Her Heart lyrics

Like a bird she was wounded

A prisoner he found

He kept her beside him on the ground

She wanted him to release her

But he didn't want her to fly

He had come to depend on seeing her cry

CHORUS

He cut her wings

But she could still sing

He didn't see he could never stop her heart

Just like in a cage he kept her

But inside she grew strong

And in some ways it was nice

to have a place to belong

But freedom called in its own way

soft moonlit nights in her thoughts

And the war raged on inside

that she always fought

CHORUS

Ah, the love that plays in the strangest ways

She felt his warm embrace like fire inside her

And when the day would break, it seemed

her heart would shake

But she knew he had her soul at stake

CHORUS

Like a bird she was wounded

A prisoner he found

But time was running out, he couldn't

keep her down

So one day he released her

Thinking that she wouldn't go

But how she was able to fly

was something he'd never know

CHORUS
