Lyrics

Broken like a shattered piece of porcelain
Broken like a child's abandoned toy
Broken like a tool left outside in the rain to rust
Broken like a heart that has no joy
There are many ways to tell the story
There are many ways to play the game
There are consequences when we have the need for glory
And those we have broken will never be the same

And if the words are never spoken
The healing can?t begin
We cast aside all those we've broken
With our need to win
I believe this is how wars are started
When souls become parted
And no one will choose to walk the higher ground
We're left standing gazing at each other
Without uttering a sound
And if we are the rulers of the free world
Then the world must not be free
That's a dichotomy

It leaves us
Broken like a windshield by a tiny piece of rock
Broken like a power line in a hurricane
Broken in the silence when we refuse to talk
Broken like the homeless bent down with the strain

If we could lay aside our arrogance
Then we could rise above
When the tempest turns to peace
and loathing becomes love
I believe this is how wars are ended
When souls become mended
When someone agrees to compromise
We?re left standing Naked
gazing at each other
No where to hide the lies

It's gotta be about all of God's children
Not just about you or me
There ain't no evolution
here babe

Till then we are
Shattered like a broken piece of porcelain
Abandoned like a child's broken toy
Left outside like a broken tool to rust
A heart that is broken has no joy
