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
