Broken Land

These rivers run too deep With schemes of men for days that lay ahead They sell their souls so cheap They breed mistrust and fill my heart with dread When did the boy become a man And lose his life to learn? So much confusion to this plan These times are not changing Show me the love to keep us together Open up your hearts, don't turn me away Comfort me through this stormy weather From where I stand, I see a broken land This boy has learned to fail In times like these to cry seems so absurd His own life's crises pale In the shadow of this truly dying world These are the games we played at school Our hands raised in despair With no exception to the rule These times are not changing Show me the love to keep us together Open up your hearts, don't turn me away Comfort me through this stormy weather From where I stand, I see a broken land Where is the love to keep us together? Open up your hearts, don't turn me away Comfort me through this stormy weather From where I stand, I see a broken land
