Shattered Glass

We’re all alone Fragile and scared Tainted parts of a cathedral wall Delicate Moulded with care Made to represent beauty and love Thunder roars The drums beating war Screaming wildly, we crash to the floor (Chorus): Shattered glass Is what we’ve become Shattered glass Is all we are Open our hearts And the pain is too real Shattered glass We cannot feel Man to man Brother to brother We weren’t meant to destroy We fight our fights Senselessly dying Bloodshed covering hopes It’s not enough To care for this world So what happens when it’s gone? (Chorus) Dust to dust Ashes to ashes We blow upon the wind of rapid destruction There’s more to life Than bending and breaking But ‘til we look for peace, the cries will never cease Shattered glass Is what we’ll become Shattered glass Is all we’ll know When the hate and the pain At last can prevail Shattered glass We’ll always be Shattered glass We'll always be Shattered glass . . . Is it too late?
