How Broken

[Verse One]
She’s reached out from the depths of the darkness
In the shadows of the anguished she kneels
Reciting the prayers of the forgotten
At the altar of the million unhealed

[Verse Two]
How long must she wander?
How much must she bear?
Waiting for some kind of answer
On the banks of the great despair

[Chorus]
How broken must she be, Lord
Before your light reaches her soul?
How broken must she be, Lord
Beforе your love makes her wholе?

[Verse Three]
Is there something about all the suffering
Something we just can’t understand
Some purpose or some unknown reason
Set in motion by some divine hand

[Verse Four]
Surely you don’t turn away
From the naked cry
Just once won’t you please break the silence
And answer the question why?

[Chorus]
How broken must we be, Lord
Before your light reaches our souls
How broken must we be, Lord
Before your love makes us whole?
