Broken

And as the day begins to rise...

Giving day new light and liberty and justice, just the American way

I was taken by surprise...

To see those gates closed tightly...step in line son's all I heard him say

And as the day begins to lay...

Across the land like a blanket playing life as if it were a game

I tried walking towards the light...

With my fist in the air, I turned my head and lost the fight

There's nothing left for me down here...so why can't I just fly

Away from all this pain and fear...among the broken lights

Time will surely take its toll...

Wrinkle skin, grey hair and turn all of you young to old

I can't change my life if I tried...

And with this I'll never be a star in the sky

There's nothing left for me down here...so why can't I just fly

Away from all this pain and fear...among the broken lights

I've been blinded by the sun

For all the evil things I've done

You made me sleep inside of darkness

You made me hide behind a gun

Don't want to walk behind your shadow

Won't you help me free my mind

I want to live for tomorrow

Cause tomorrow's just the end of time

Right... Don't you walk away

Right... No I can't

Right... Don't you walk away

Right

There's nothing left for me down here...so why can't I just fly

Away from all this pain and fear...among the broken lights

I've paid my dues, I've walked that road...and now I want to rise

Above the clouds where angels glow...among the broken lights

It's getting hard to breath...

It's getting hard to breath...

It's getting hard to breath...
