You'll meet many just like me upon life's busy street |
|
With shoulders stooped and heads bowed low and eyes that stare in defeat |
|
Or souls that live within the past where sorrow plays all parts |
|
Where a living death is all that's left for men with broken hearts |
|
You have no right to be the judge to criticize and condemn |
|
Just think but for the grace of God it would be you instead of him |
|
One careless step a thoughtless deed and then the misery starts |
|
And to those who weep death comes cheap these men with broken hearts |
|
Oh so humble you should be when they come passing by |
|
For it's written that the greatest men never get too big to cry |
|
Some lose faith in love and life when sorrow shoots her darts |
|
And with hope all gone they walk alone these men with broken hearts |
|
You've never walked in that man's shoes or saw things through his eyes |
|
Or stood and watched with helpless hands while the heart inside you dies |
|
Some were propers some were kings and some were masters of the arts |
|
But in their shame they're all the same these men with broken hearts |
|
Life sometimes can be so cruel that a heart will pray for death |
|
God why must these living dead know pain with every breath |
|
So help your brother along the road no matter where he starts |
|
For the God that made you made them too these men with broken hearts |
