THE BROKEN SOUL

THE BROKEN SOUL

They thought that I was down and out

They thought that I was done

The more they kept me on the ground

The more I looked towards that sun

And as those rays of light shone down

To warm my aging face

I found my shoulders rise once more

As I stood in humble grace

No tears, no regrets, no shattered life

Will destroy my battered soul

Instead I’ll fight and pursue each dream

As I move towards my goal

The ridicule, the words of harm

The insults and the pain

Endured by a man whose defiant spirit

Fights back to erase his shame

When a man is lost and feels all alone

He must look within himself

And rid his thoughts of any doubt

That his life is blessed with wealth

No gold, no silver to weigh him down

Only pennies small and few

But in his heart he carries the belief

That his life can be renewed

Blows and strikes may knock you over

In a life that’s tough and hard

But a winner will find inside his mind

The strength to rebuild his guard

So look towards that sun my lad

When your battles near their end

And remember this as you rise again

That a broken soul can mend
