band aid

the flutter of my wings

messing up my hair

i couldn't save the world today

it's not that i don't care

but there's no time

there's no time

as high as i could get

i rise above me

that human far below

not who i plan to be

it's a broken dream; a broken scene for sure

love songs are a band aid

poetry's a band aid

we want a revolution

a shortcut to solution

no

we really need a cure

i swear i heard her calling

flying walking crawling

i thought that i was perfect

for you and for the world

now i'm just not really sure

reaching for a star

one more thing i couldn't do

if it landed in my arms

you know i'd bring it home to you

it's all for you

it all belongs to you

love songs are a band aid

poetry's a band aid

we want a revolution

a shortcut to solution

no

what we really need's a cure

i swear i heard her calling

flying walking crawling

i thought that i was perfect

for you and for the world

now i'm just not really sure

we're human

after all

we're taught the aweful art; be small

if your mission is an end as it will start

when you connect the power of love that's in your heart

love songs are a band aid

poetry's a band aid

we want a revolution

a shortcut to solution

no

we really need a cure

i swear i heard her calling

flying walking crawling

i thought that i was perfect

for you and for the world

now i'm just not really sure

you don't have to sit around

complain about the way your life has wound up

you don't have to sit around

complain about the way your life has wound up
