Broken Silence Lyrics - Broken Silence - Foxy Brown

The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? 

The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? 

When the wicked came against me to eat up my flesh 

My enemies and foes, they stumbled and fell 

Though an army may encamp against me 

My heart shall not fear 

Though war may rise against me 

In this I will be confident 

I will survive 

[Chorus] 

Take, these broken wings (these broken wings) 

And let them fly again 

And let them live so free (you taught me how to fly, fly) 

When we hear, the voices sing 

The book of love will open up, and let us in 

Feel like I've got this black cloud hangin' over me 

It's like this pain is takin' control of me 

Every move I make, determines my fate 

Feel like I'm dying slow, and that's the shit I hate 

The constant pressure, the bullshit rumors 

The outcast, I'm the one they love to badge 

When the records stop sellin' 

And the crowds stop yellin' 

All I have is me 

Bet you thought I'd die without you 

But see how I'm still living 

Thought that I would self destruct 

But I'm still here, with another one 

Even though I felt crumbled, I made it through the rumble 

Torn apart, a young woman scorned 

Coping with the pain, nearly drove me insane 

In the hospital, crying in the pain 

All types of medications, flowing through my veins 

[Chorus] 

Take, these broken wings (these, broken, wings) 

And let them fly again 

And let them live so free 

When we hear, the voices sing (I will learn, I will learn, how to fly) 

The book of love will open up, and let us in 

Please, understand I'm a human first 

And before Foxy Brown, I'm just still Inga 

And my family, is my whole life 

And I cherish this ring that you put on my finger 

We survived through the roughest stones 

Sleeping with our baby pit bull on the basement floors 

And through it all, you and I felt we could be strong 

All through the rough times, through the pains and storms 

And, it's like when it rains, it pours 

All they see is gray and blue, they don't know you like I do 

Five years committed, y'all just don't understand 

No career, no fame, meant more than my man 

And, to my fans that slept through it all 

Through the rise and the fall, I love y'all all 

Even when I nearly lost my mind 

Some remained loyal, ignored the headlines and 

[Chorus] 

Take, these broken wings (take, these broken wings) 

And let them fly again 

And let them live so free (let em fly, let em fly) 

When we hear, the voices sing (voices sing) 

The book of love will open up, and let us in 

Story of my legacy, this can't be life 

Lord, I feel like I'm fallin' 

Praying for strength, I'm losing my mind 

And, how can you fly when your wings are broken? 

And, how can I smile when my heart is broken? 

Through all the pain I've felt, that's the hand I'm dealt 

My personal problem, stays in my home 

Know I won't discuss them, reporters I don't trust 'em 

[Chorus] 

Take, these broken wings (these broken wings) 

And let them fly again 

And let them live so free (I want to see them fly) 

When we hear, the voices sing 

The book of love will open up, and let us in 

Take, these broken wings (take these broken wings) 

And let them fly again (oohh) 

And let them live so free (let them live so free, so free) 

When we hear, the voices sing (yeahh) 

The book of love will open up, and let us in 

Teach me how to fly 

(ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh-ooh) 

Teach me how to fly 

I believe, in the power, of love 

(ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh) 

Can't you hear me, don't you hear me? 

(ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh-ooh) 

I'm calling out to you 

Foxy help me sing 

(ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh) 

These broken wings
