The world just took another spin in the wrong direction
Hate found a handgun, and now nobody feels safe
I gotta turn off the news so my kids don?t see another tragedy
I wanna let em stay innocent, at least for one more day
Cause just when I think it can?t get worse, it gets worse
And there are no words to say
How much more can our hearts take?
In this shattered place, where the shadows cover
Where we speak of love, while we hurt each other
My heart aches for home, right now more than ever
But I?m holding on, to the hope of heaven
And the promise that the day is drawing near
You will wipe away every tear
You will wipe away every tear
verse 2
There will be no more terror, no more riots in the street
And we will all be seen, beyond the color of our skin
No more fighting, no more war, no more hunger left ignored
No more sickness, no more pain
We?re here for now but we won?t stay
In this shattered place, where the shadows cover
Where we speak of love, while we hurt each other
My heart aches for home, right now more than ever
But I?m holding on, to the hope of heaven
And the promise that the day is drawing near
You will wipe away every tear
You will wipe away every tear Ooooh
Bridge
The Lord is close to the broken-hearted
The Lord is close to the broken-hearted
Oh Lord be close to the broken-hearted
We need you now
We need you now
In this shattered place, where the shadows cover
Where we speak of love, while we hurt each other
My heart aches for home, right now more than ever
But I?m holding on, to the hope of heaven
And the promise that the day is drawing near
When your great light will make the darkness disappear
And you will wipe away every tear, every tear
You will wipe away every tear
Outro
Lord be close to the broken-hearted
Lord be close to the broken-hearted
