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
