Lonely Broken Hearted People - Philip Bailey

I was walking down the street of the city

And it suddenly occurred to me

When I tried to say hello to my neighbor

No one took the time to speak

As I walked, I looked into some faces

And felt those feelings that I recognized

The pain of brokenness was so apparent

It made me cry

Well, it’s just a case

Of lonely broken hearted people

It’s in the face of almost everyone I see

Can we help a lonely broken hearted person

See their rain become a rainbow

Change their frown into a smile

There are times that I still see those faces

And they remind me of what used to be

My friends would say

That I once seemed so distant

Now could it be

Just another case

Of lonely broken hearted people

It’s in the face of almost everyone I see

Can we help a lonely broken hearted person

See their tears become a laughter

Paint the canvas of their hearts

With the colors of a rainbow

Change their frowns into a smile

Down the street I ran into a Carpenter

And He is great at mending broken hearts

He builds hope where there is hopelessness

Life where there’s no life at all

He says He loves

The lonely broken hearted people

And He alone can give them what they need

I was once a lonely broken hearted person

He turned my rain into a rainbow

Changed my frown into a smile

And my tears became my laughter

When He turned my life around

There’s hope for broken hearted people

He can give them what they need

I was broken hearted person

Said, He’s more than just a carpenter

Mending broken hearts

Hope where there is hopelessness

And lives are torn apart

Rain into a rainbow

Changing frowns into a smile

Tears became my laughter

When He turned my life around…
