Broken World
The Interrupters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Too much division in a broken world
Nobody listens in a broken world
We're on a mission, I wanna know
When it's dark as a dungeon can you be a light?
Can you bring peace in the middle of a fight?
When you see separation can you unite?
And when you see 'em doing wrong can you do what's right?
We're crying out for unity, and the battle's just begun
Let love be your foundation, let wisdom be your guide
'Til the problems that we're facing, can no longer divide
A broken world
It's hard livin' in a broken world
Too much division in a broken world
Nobody listens in a broken world
We're on a mission, I wanna know
If your enemy was drowning would you pull him to shore?
If a stranger was starving would you open your door?
Are there any revolutionaries here anymore?
And what you gonna be remembered for?
