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 planned 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 a 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 a 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 awful art of being small
If your mission isn't madness, 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 a 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
