I was walking down the street of the city
And it suddenly occurred to me
When I tried to say hello to my neighbor
No one took the time to speak
As I walked, I looked into some faces
And felt those feelings that I recognized
The pain of brokenness was so apparent
It made me cry
Well, it's just a case
Of lonely broken hearted people
It's in the face of almost everyone I see
Can we help a lonely broken hearted person
See their rain become a rainbow
Change their frown into a smile
There are times that I still see those faces
And they remind me of what used to be
My friends would say
That I once seemed so distant
Now could it be
Just another case
Of lonely broken hearted people
It's in the face of almost everyone I see
Can we help a lonely broken hearted person
See their tears become a laughter
Paint the canvas of their hearts
With the colors of a rainbow
Change their frowns into a smile
Down the street I ran into a Carpenter
And He is great at mending broken hearts
He builds hope where there is hopelessness
Life where there's no life at all
He says He loves
The lonely broken hearted people
And He alone can give them what they need
I was once a lonely broken hearted person
He turned my rain into a rainbow
Changed my frown into a smile
And my tears became my laughter
When He turned my life around
There's hope for broken hearted people
He can give them what they need
I was broken hearted person
Said, He's more than just a carpenter
Mending broken hearts
Hope where there is hopelessness
And lives are torn apart
Rain into a rainbow
Changing frowns into a smile
Tears became my laughter
When He turned my life around...
