Broken in Whole

How can those who’ve fallen

Pick themselves up off the floor

How can those who’ve been locked out

Somehow open up the door

How can those who lose faith

Believe things they just don’t see

How can I fix myself 

When I’m broken as can be

I sit here so lost and so broken

How can those who are lost 

Keep from going astray

I sit here so lost and so broken

And how can those who are broken

Ever fix their own way

How can those who’ve suffered

Believe all is somehow good

Can there be understanding

When your whole life you’ve been misunderstood

Can a ship that lost its rudder

Steer itself back to the shore

How can those of us who’ve fallen

Pick ourselves up off the floor 

I sit here so lost and so broken

How can those lost in darkness

Find their way towards the light

I sit here so lost and so broken

How can those who’ve been blinded

See their way back to sight

Oh I want yeah I want to be better

But who am I 

To improve myself

I’m the same person who needs to get better

And how can the darkness

How can the sickness

How can the brokenness

Ever heal itself

That’s why You went and You built me a heaven

With a piece of You that’s beyond myself

And when I call out to you up in heaven

At last through You I can heal myself

I sit here so lost and so broken

But though I’m lost in the middle

Every day’s a new start

I sit here so lost and so broken

But there’s nothing more whole

Than a broken heart (kotzker)
