Bruised & Broken

I built these roads To find a new hope A real home I've been choked I've felt the weight of a thousand thorns To hit this stage when I want nothing more I built these walls To home the family of the broke and burned We fell with the things we couldn't see He picked us back up with his hands that bleed I know it's hard I know this pain When the ones you love kick you to the streets We are the bruised and broken And we refuse to be like you We are the bruised and broken And we refuse to be like you We are the ones who are bruised and broken We all refuse to be like you Just open your eyes There is not much to see This world is full of hate And it's the love we need We won't run This is our destiny This is our destiny God! Won't you please help them? Why won't you please help them? Why won't you please fix this? Please help them! Why won't you please help them? Why won't you please fix this? We are the bruised and broken And we refuse to be like you We are the bruised and broken And we refuse to be like you We are the ones who are bruised and broken We all refuse to be like you Oh I can't seem to shake this sight (shake this sight) The sky it burned And it rained of ashes We are the bruised and broken We are the bruised and broken We are the bruised and broken And we refuse to be like you
