Broken Song

Sometimes this life feels
like an endless song.
A melody that
I’m writing wrong.
Each phrase I’m singing
and every word I rhyme,
just don’t seem to mean a thing.
They are but empty broken lines.

I don’t know where I am going
and you know this road is rough.
I try to keep my head up
but you know I’m not that tough.
Even though my life is broken
the one thing I can do
is sit right here, under the stars
and sing my broken song to you.

I keep on singing,
the broken words I have.
The chords keep playing,
there’s no way back.
This life’s a journey:
a search for harmony,
but when I try to sing this song
it is the brokenness I see.

When I’m not feeling strong,
feel like I don’t belong,
I turn to you and sing my broken song.
