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?
