A wounded bird fights for it's life, and to return to the safety of it's natural environment-the sky. So we are freed from our doom, our fatal wound of sin, and freed to soar upward, eventually to our home in the sky.

Lyrics
WOUNDED BIRD by Dave McIntosh
V1.
Wounded bird, helpless on the ground
Hungry eyes watching, without a sound
A broken wing seals his destiny
Desperately in pain he tries to fly
Trying to regain his life in the sky
And as all hope begins to end
He feels a force lifting him
Cho.
Little bit at a time, I?m risin?
Little bit at a time, I?m flyin?
Soarin? up with the One I love
To the life He?s told me of
In His might I?m really tryin?
Leavin? behind a life of cryin?
I can feel the healin?
Your will revealin?
V2.
As he falls back to the earth again
Strength revives, he has felt the wind
The hand of love still lifts him up
Try after try he starts to climb
A little bit higher every time
And soon he?ll go on to his place
To his home in the sky?s embrace
V3.
Wounded bird, helpless on the ground
You don?t have to die, there is life to be found
There?s healing in His wings
So let Him heal you deep inside
You?ll stop running and learn to fly
And after living in His love
He?ll take you to your home above
