Brokeness Lyrics by Switchfoot etc.

Etc.

1995

Where do they run to when they're down and out and nowhere left to go?
Saw them wandering down the street
Unless they haven’t left his home
And all the people stopped and stared and laughed
And he was ashamed again
And there were times when he was once like them, once like them
Once like them, yeah
And don’t bеlieve they don’t havе feelings
Yes they have emotions still
When you’re feeling so alone and yet you’re far away
With all your cutdowns and your anger
Yet they haven't changed
Please remember they were once like you
Once like you
Once like you
No spending money
That won't get you far, far
When you’re living for today
Tomorrow hits too hard, hard
And shall I play the game
No we’re too much the same
Or shall I overcome
The one I fear I have become
I have become
I have become
Have I become the monster
Or is that what we are
Until we learn to live
Oh pilgrim do you know the road you’re headed on right now?
Or are you still wondering
The more I know
The more I know there’s more for me to learn
And that I’m still growing
Ah, ah
Where do they run to when they’re down
And out with nowhere left to go
Where do they run to when they’re down
And out with nowhere left to go
Homeless in brokenness and nowhere left to go
Homeless in brokenness and nowhere left to go
