Broken
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Tell me what it's like in heaven
I hope it's kinder than it is down here
With all the trials and tribulations
All the worry and living in fear
We are lost, we are scattered
We're barmy and we're battered
We might be bruised but we're not broken
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
We might be bruised but we're not broken
And my heart is still beating
I'm alive and I'm still breathing
I've got hope it's gonna get better
I might be bruised but I'm not broken
The world moves in mysterious ways
And life happens day after day
We all struggle and feel so neglected
'Cause life's gonna hit you when you least expect it to
What's it like in heaven?
I hope it's kinder than it is down here
With all the trials and tribulations
We might be bruised but we're not broken
