Broken Hallelujah

Intro: Verse: 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 neither voice I followed ever made me truly free. Pre-Chorus 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 Solo: Verse: 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 Pre-Chorus 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 Bridge: 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, yeah I'll be singing clear Broken Hallelujahs for everyone to hear Singing broken Hallelujahs Hallelujahs Hallelujahs You can find me here
