Lyrics
Beauty in the Broken (Laura Baron )
If I was in the outside looking in
Id see a lonely road I'm wandering
Id find an empty room where you had been calling out my name
If I was in the outside looking in
My eyes grow wide as stars as you touch my skin
There's a shattered jewel still glistening
When I have lost my way
Chorus
There's Beauty in the broken
When gentle words are spoken
A tender heart can open
Like petals in the rain
There's beauty in uncertain
A touch can part the curtain
We're all torn and hurting
that's how the light gets in
that's how the light gets in
Br
Falling feel my heart is breaking
You lift me and take me
To a place I've never been, a place I've never been
solo
If I was on the outside looking in
I'd see the silver tides come rolling in
We dive into the wild surf as we swim
And come alive again
I am on the outside looking in
My eyes grow wide as stars as you touch my skin
There's a universe here glistening
Everything has changed
Chorus
There's Beauty in the broken
When gentle words are spoken
A tender heart breaks open
Like petals in the rain.
There's beauty in uncertain
A touch can part the curtain
We're all raw and hurting
that's how the light gets in
that's how the light gets in
