The Beautiful Ones

Flies with a broken wing
She's ever so graceful
So like an angel,
But I see, tears flow quietly.

The struggle she's seen this spring
When nothing comes dancing,
Paying a handsome fee
And still she smiles at me.

And I can't take it
No, I can't help but wonder...

Why do we sacrifice the beautiful ones?
How do you break a heart of gold?
Why do we sacrifice our beautiful souls?
Heroes of tales unsung, untold.

Sweet as an angel sings
She gives though
She has none left
But the last one, free, unhesitatingly.

And I am humbled
I'm a broken mirror
And I can't help but wonder...

Why do we sacrifice the beautiful ones?
How do you break a heart of gold?
Why do we sacrifice our beautiful souls?
Heroes of tales unsung, untold.

Why do we sacrifice the beautiful ones?
Why when they walk with love alone?
Why do we sacrifice our beautiful souls?
Just trying to find their way home.
