We are children of constant sorrow living in a fallen world, for we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the
rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high place.
“As I walk this land of broken dreams
I have visions of many things
But happiness is just an illusion
filled with sadness and confusion
What becomes of a brokenhearted
who had love that’s now departed
I know I’ve got to find
some kind of piece of mine, baa-aaaaby
The roots of love grow all around
But for me they come tumble all down
Every day,heartaches grow a little stronger (just a little stronger)
I can’t stand this pain much longer
I walk in shadows,searching for a life
cold and alone,no comfort inside
Hoping and praying for someone who cares
always moving and going nowhere
What becomes of a brokenhearted
who had love that’s now departed
I know I’ve got to find
some kind of piece of mine, help me
I’m searching though I don’t succeed
For someone’s love,there’s a growing leaf
oh is lost there’s no place for beginning
All that’s left is that unhappy ending
now what becomes of a brokenhearted
who had love that’s now departed
I know I’ve got to find
some kind of piece of mine
I’ll be searching everywhere
just to find someone to care
I’ll be looking every day
I know I find it miles away
Nothing’s gone stop me now
I will find a way somehow.”
