Everyone is Broken
She's been broken.
Sexually abused.
No way to describe how her body's been used.
Look at her dead eyes.
No more tears for her cries.
See her looking down
Eyes to the ground.
No hope for the skies
She's been broken
Everybody's broken
We are all sisters or brothers
We need to look out for one another
If you see someone in need
Don't just watch them bleed
Sometimes all we need
Is a lifeline to be thown
The life you safe might be your own
Cause everybody's broken
He's been broken
A failure from the start
A lifetime of drugs drove his family apart
Yeah, bad choices
He's made a few
But by the grace of God
There goes you
Look deep down
You know it's true
He's been broken
Don't just bury your head in the sand
Every single one of us sometimes need a helping hand
Maybe they just need someone to listen
Maybe you can see a door that they're missing
Maybe you'll find that you help yourself
When you manage to help someone else
Cause everyone is broken
Everyone is broken
Sexually abused.
No way to describe how her body's been used.
Look at her dead eyes.
No more tears for her cries.
See her looking down
Eyes to the ground.
No hope for the skies
She's been broken
Everybody's broken
We are all sisters or brothers
We need to look out for one another
If you see someone in need
Don't just watch them bleed
Sometimes all we need
Is a lifeline to be thown
The life you safe might be your own
Cause everybody's broken
He's been broken
A failure from the start
A lifetime of drugs drove his family apart
