Ooo! In a heart of pride There's a world of shame Too great to hide Not ready to take To take the blame I know that life gets hard When the heart grows cold Refuse to bend Love is quick to fold Love is quick to fold
Like the willows weep, yeah In the winds of change Or a winter's sleep, yes In the blinding snow And the freezing rain And like the embers glow When the fire is low God is reaching me Teaching me To feel the strength in humility
(Let me be broken, my cry, my plea Let me be broken) Chastened, chosen (Let me be broken, quite honestly Let me be broken Hey)
When the eyes are dry To a widow's pain Or an orphan's cry Then religion is lost It's all in vain But of the deadly sins Sure to top the list Self-seeking wins With a defiant twist A defiant twist
