Bronken hallelujah

Two languages I heard when I was young
One said make-believe, the other said run
But I have no peace when I try to pretend
And running never got me anywhere in the end
Something deep inside me was longing just to breathe
And either voice I followed ever made me truly free

A heart divided cannot bear the weight
I'd almost given up and then I found this place
Where broken children gather and they sing their Father's song
My heart was aching at the sound, I had to sing along

And find me on my knees, with nothing left to hide
I'll be by the river, leaving all my shame behind
I'll be singing loud, I'll be singing clear
Broken Hallelujahs for everyone to hear
Singing broken Hallelujahs
You can find me here

Well history keeps trying to repeat
And the only way to stop its curse is learning how to speak
The language that is written in our hearts
Freedom comes when we find the place where mercy starts
So children gather 'round me now and sing that holy song
Where those that do not have a home can finally belong

And find me on my knees, with nothing left to hide
I'll be by the river, leaving all my shame behind
I'll be singing loud, I'll be singing clear
Broken Hallelujahs for everyone to hear
Singing broken Hallelujahs

Blessed are the pouring hearts
Blessed are the weary ones
Blessed are the ones who weep
For they will see eternity
Blessed are the ones who hunger
Blessed are the ones who thirst
Blessed are the sick and needy

You'll find us on our knees, with nothing left to hide
We'll be in the river, leaving all our sins behind

Find me on my knees, with nothing left to hide
I'll be by the river, leaving all my shame behind
I'll be singing loud, I'll be singing clear
Broken Hallelujahs for everyone to hear
Singing broken Hallelujahs
Hallelujahs
Hallelujahs

You can find me here
