about

Poignant and melancholic. Uplifting and touching.
Too good to just be on our Halloween album.
Touches on themes of disability, loneliness, friendship and cooperation.
'In my dreams, my wings are wide'.

lyrics

I am a bat with a broken wing
My friends play out while I stay in
One wing is working. The other’s in a sling
I am a bat with a broken wing

Now, Halloween is nearly here
The bat’s favourite day of the year
My friends and I look forward to that night
They say, ‘How you feeling?’
I say, ‘I’m alright’

But in my dreams my wings are wide
As through the stary sky I glide
Flying free. Flying high
Just the moon, my friends and I

I am a bat with a broken wing
And I can laugh, and I can sing
And one day, I don’t know when
It won’t be long ‘til I can fly again

Now Halloween is finally here
And my friends had an idea
They made a basket for me to get into
They grabbed the corners and up we flew

And I was laughing until I cried
As through the stary sky we glide
Flying free. Flying high
Just the moon, my friends and I

And we were laughing until we cried
As through the stary sky we glide
Flying free. Flying high
Just the moon, my friends and I
