Broken

I could count up the days on two hands
My feeble legs fought my weight to stand
I don’t think anyone plans on caving in
There’s a way that seems right to a man
But I’ve walked where the pavement ends
I’ve seen where the heavens rend

My hopes were broken like a man who counted on himself
Shattered like the glass when it fell from the shelf
Watching time elapse as I whispered to myself
It’s gonna take a miracle now

When your best foot is already forward
And there’s one more step to be made
Everything, everything eventually gives way

Broken like a man who counted on himself
Shattered like the glass when it fell from the shelf
Watching time elapse while I whispered to myself
It’s gonna take a miracle now

Strength will only take you to your end
This is where surrender begins
Eventually you’ll face something you can’t do
The nature of a dream is outgrows you

Broken like a man who counted on himself
Shattered like the glass when it fell from the shelf
Watching time elapse while I whispered to myself
It’s gonna take a miracle now

Broken like a man who counted on himself
Shattered like the glass when it fell from the shelf
Watching time elapse while I whispered to myself
It’s gonna take a miracle now
It’s gonna take a miracle now
It’s gonna take a miracle now
It’s gonna take a miracle now
