The Broken
Hold onto your faith oh so they say
Spew their words of grace lying to your face
As a poor man watches everyone passing by
Isn't it funny all the things people claim
While they turn a cheek in his broken space
Saying kindness is the only way
But words are senseless in your wake
Leaving a broken man there to die
And the faithful will continue to ask why
They never see a broken man cry
Maybe you shouldn't look the other way
Change your perception in the steps you take
If you lost everything upon your wake
Would you grasp a different world in place
Would material things mean the same
We have no one but ourselves to blame
So the world thrives on lies
If you have nothing you're left behind
Drink the poison water of a society that's blind
While the broken continue to fade and die
What have we become
Where is the love
What have we done
Why's love never enough
Growing colder everyday
How have we let ourselves become this way
Sitting cozy warm in your homes
As the poor man dies hungry and alone
Cold streets of pavement you'll never know
As long as your cash continues to flow
I bet you never heard a broken man cry
I bet you never heard a broken man ask why
While you continue in your selfish gloat
While your riding in your fancy boat
I bet you never knew a day of hunger
I bet you never thought you'd fall under
Until the day comes you'll never know
Until you're broke and cold in your slumber
What have we become
Where is the love
What have we done
Why's love never enough
Growing colder everyday
How have we let ourselves become this way
If you lost everything upon your wake
Would you grasp a different world in place
Would material things mean the same
We have no one but ourselves to blame
So the world thrives on lies
If you have nothing you're left behind
Drink the poison water of a society that's blind
While the broken continue to fade and die
What have we become
Where is the love
What have we done
Why's love never enough
Growing colder everyday
How have we let ourselves become this way
What have we become
Where is the love
What have we done
Why's love never enough
Growing colder everyday
How have we let ourselves become this way
How have we let ourselves become this way
We only have ourselves to blame
