Song For The Broken
Abandon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I see a need for peace
I want to change the course of history
I see the heavy souls
Praying for relief
A song for the broken we will sing
Oooo
There's a love that can't be broken
Heaven is coming down, coming down
I move within in your veins
An apathetic face
Try to recreate a beautiful escape
Our silence is weak
An epidemic on repeat
Love holds the cure for all humanity
Oooo
There's a light shining brighter than the sun
There's a love that can't be broken
A savior giving hope to the world
Heaven is coming down, coming down
Blessed are the weak
When we're down on our knees
Heaven is singing, heaven is singing
Blessed are the weak
When we're down on our knees
Heaven is singing, heaven is singing
A song for the broken
Oooo... yeah
There's a light shining brighter than the sun
There's a love that can't be broken
A savior giving hope to the world
Heaven is coming down, coming down
Ohhh
Ohhh
