DOWN AMONG THE BROKEN ONES
Come down among the broken ones
Who gave their hearts away
Who tried to help, who tried to love
All those who came their way.
Come down among the lost ones
Whose way of being died
Who gave their all, till all was gone
And darkness lit their way.
Come down among the lonely ones
Who tried so hard to please
Who noticed when in need themselves
That all had gone away.
Come down, my love, and don’t be scared
For nothing is as it seems
Here in the depths of loneliness
Is the medicine you need.
Come down and feel your beating heart
The breath between your thoughts
Cradle your fragile, tender soul
And notice where you are.
The life you knew is over
Shed tears for all that seems lost
But notice too the birds and trees
You were once too blind to see
You had to lose the life you had
It hurts, I know, but soon
You will find yourself standing in the light
Of who you really are
