Broken Words and music by Joe FicklinG C I knew of a boy / in a once-upon land D G With innocent eyes and a song in his hand C D Who fell from a tree filled with red autumn leaves C D C G And wandered away to be lost upon sand Chorus: We are the fallen with gaps in our souls Looking for pieces to patch up the holes Some wander the world always rushing on Some wonder at stars that go dim in the dawn I knew of a girl who once danced down the sun With laughter and rose wine she made the days run Fell fractured and bleeding cut off from herself Now patterned and patched with slow healing begun We are the broken with gaps in our souls Looking for pieces to patch up the holes Some wander the world always rushing on Some wonder at stars that go dim in the dawn I knew of a boy who had wandered away Shadowless, grief-stricken, looking to stay But Eden forbids the cast-out to remain Blinded by sight he has no words to say We are the fallen with gaps in our souls Looking for pieces to patch up the holes Some wander the world always rushing on Some wonder at stars that go dim in the dawn I knew a girl who with patterns and patches Was looking for meaning in needles and matches A fire is burning but unfocused flame Brings wonder and worry and demon's dispatches We are the broken with gaps in our souls Looking for pieces to patch up the holes Some wander the world always rushing on Some wonder at stars that go dim in the dawn A boy and a girl, melody and a poem With bits broken up and lace-pattern like foam To stumble and struggle and reach for what's there To reach for each other and find a way home Final Chorus: Fallen, broken, gaps in our souls Looking for someone to patch up the holes We wander the world always rushing on We wonder at stars that go dim in the dawn
