Men With Broken Hearts

You'll meet many just like me
Upon life's busy street
With shoulders stooped and heads bowed low
And eyes that stare in defeat
Or souls that live within the past
Where sorrow plays all parts
Where a living death is all that's
Left for men with broken hearts

You have no right to be the
Judge to criticize and condemn
Just think but for the grace of God
It would be you instead of him
One careless step a thoughtless deed
And then the misery starts
And to those who weep death comes
Cheap these men with broken hearts

Humble you should be when
They come passing by
For it's written that the greatest men
Never get too big to cry
Some lose faith in love and life
When sorrow shoots her darts
And with hope all gone they walk
Alone these men with broken hearts

You've never walked in that man's shoes
Or saw things through his eyes
Or stood and watched with helpless hands
While the heart inside you dies
Some were paupers some were kings
And some were masters of the arts
But in their shame they're all the same
These men with broken hearts

Life sometimes can be so cruel that
A heart will pray for death
God why must these living dead
Know pain with every breath
So help your brother along the road
No matter where he starts
For the God that made you made them
Too these men with broken hearts
