Finished a rough draft of Broken and put it to a slide show video... for those of you who are Broken just like me...
Broken
Is it my fate to end up here?
Trapped in a fortress of my fears
A place of nightmares not of dreams
An endless cycle so it seems
Lost inside the dark, the cold
Stunned to find myself alone
Within the noise I thought was gone
Look for myself and now I’m found
Broken
Heart in one hand, life in the other
Hard to understand if I should even bother
Or leave the pieces where they lay
To be trampled as they may
Or once again be swept away
Broken
My world has been turned upside down
And left in pieces on the ground
Cliché or not that’s what it is
Another sorrow for the list
I’m staggered by the root thereof
And anxious to reclaim my love
The passing time that sets me free
Will by no means cause me not to be
Broken
Heart in one hand, life in the other
Hard to understand if I should even bother
Or leave the pieces where they lay
To be trampled as they may
Or once again be swept away
Broken
Lord I know you’re big enough
To heal the hurt, rebuild the trust
Within that faith I do believe
But frankly I could use relief
The fault is almost always mine
But it doesn’t feel that way this time
So I’m left begging You to start
Putting back together a heart
Broken
Heart in Your hand, life in the other
Hard to understand if I am worth the bother
Will You leave the pieces where they lay
Let them be trampled as they may,
Or allow me to be swept away
Broken?
Heart in one hand, life in the other
Hard to understand if I should even bother
Or leave the pieces where they lay
To be trampled as they may
Or once again be swept away
Broken

This chorus makes me think of this verse (Guess we'll see if HTML is allowed in these comments...) There will never be an end to brokenness, nor will there ever be a time or place Jesus doesn't go with us, in our brokenness. (Whether our own fault, or just life here on the broken earth.)
I still like it (as I did when I first hear the song), and think you should get Jeff to post a finished version of the song here :-)
well, this song probably means more to me because I walk this journey with you...let's just say...it's very well said...and it makes me very sad...which I guess means it's effective writing
I don't know how many times have I asked to myself the same question... Is it my fate to end up here?...
How many times we face situations feeling that we don't have what it takes to get out of it, to stand up again and move forward... These kind of feelings disappear when you have someone walking with you all the time...My dear friend... Pablito... you are great. You found a reason to live, you came back from very dark moments, and you now you're living a dream. But the greatest thing, is that you're leaving signs to those walking behind you, so they can see the light as well, and stand up and move forward. BTW, the song is very good, lyrics are really strong, and it's an almost perfect combination. Congrats hermano!!
