These Broken Things

Title Submitted By: Anne-Marie Strohman and Lisa Zisa
Genre: Piano, Indie

Some time back I mentioned as a Facebook status update that I wished I could
fix “the broken things.” Anne-Marie left a comment suggesting it as a song title, and Lisa seconded the suggestion. Thus, a song was born.

Here I stand on shattered dusty ground
Nails and plans and a hammer in my hands
Falling down
Falling down
Pieces run through my fingers just like sand

Hungry without food to eat
I want to fix these broken things
Love that fades and tears that sting
I want to fix these things

Guns and wars and casualties
I want to fix these broken things
Love that fades and tears that sting
I want to fix these things
I want to fix these things

Far beyond the wreckage and the dust
Hope will come for every daughter, every son
Falling down
Falling down
Every tear will be wiped away by love

You take the dishes, I keep the ring
I want to fix these broken things
Love that fades and tears that sting
I want to fix these things

Every sob and every scream
I want to fix these broken things
Love that fades and tears that sting
I want to fix these things
I want to fix these things
