Description
This is my favorite jam from the vast musical catalog of Audiologic (Ben Riordan, also the artist formerly known as Walkingstick). When he revealed the story behind it, I knew that this poignant song begged for lyrics to express the anger, frustration and hope in the face of failure. It is a song with a message that we can all relate to.
Don't miss the ending. It's the best part.
Don't miss the ending. It's the best part.

Lyrics
MISPLACED (Flying On Broken Wings)
music and instruments by Audiologic;
lyrics and vocals by Leon
1
There comes a time when the sun doesn't shine
There comes a day when the clouds turn gray
And in your life the darkness finds its way
Then you realize that everything's in disarray
2
There comes a time when you try to fly
But when you try to spread your wings
You find that they are broken
There comes a time when you feel you wanna cry
but you gather up your courage before tears start falling
REF 1
Sometimes life has no answer to our "why?"
Even if you dream and dare to try
You rise up to face the danger
But you'll never find the answer
in the midst of anger
3
There comes a time you'll have to fulfill your fate
There comes a day to leave the past without a trace
There comes a time when you've fallen out of grace
And everything you've felt and
done seem all misplaced...
(repeat REF 1)
4
So up high your hurting spirit soars
In your wounded heart a lion roars
REF 2
You feel the heat well up in your heart
and you know you have the strength
to make a brand new start
So you look way up to the sky
Aiming for the stars up high
Even though it hurts to fly
(higher...and higher...and higher...)
5
There comes a time life comes up with a challenge
And you can't find the reason to stop the confusion
There comes a day when you fall to the ground
And you search into your soul to find an inspiration
REF 3
You feel the passion deep in your heart
and you know you have the strength
to make a brand new start
So fly and fly...
high and high...
find your place under the sun
under the big blue sky
and when all is said is done
your pain, your fear... is gone...

it's quite a shock to hear vocals on this song. But you do a fine job.
