Broken From The Start	[proceed]
OVER THE RIVER

Hush, hush, hush... I heard a sound, come from the ground All of the trees are a buzz Talking in tongues, talking with lungs Talking of freedom All of the earth is soon to give birth Look at the mountains alive Birds and the bees, insects and leaves All of us longing, longing for home Home, home is somewhere I've never known Over the river Over the river I set my hope Over the river Over the river I'll find my hope in You, You Death where is your sting? Your signet ring? Where is your power? Why all this war? Death to the score Nations are fading Kingdom of light, setting us right Finally human Give me a tongue It will be done Inside I'm longing, longing for love Love, love, love, Love is something I've never known
BROKEN FROM THE START

Life is a gift like fresh cut roses Cut from the branch and brought inside It's a slow contradiction that's beauty in a vase When the chords are cut, it's when we start to die Lately death and life get so confusing I can't tell the difference here tonight Lately every breath feels like I’m kissing death And when time is dead I cease to be alive If you hide yourself, deep inside, deep inside In time you've got nothing left to hide There's nothing left inside Tonight, honey I'm going to break your heart Mine was broken was broken from the start, broken from the start Choice is the only thing we're given For one will live, another dies One road says hello, the others says goodbye And the roads that you don't choose begin to die If you hide yourself, deep inside Deep inside In time you’ve got nothing left to hide It dries up inside Tonight, honey, I’m going to break your heart Mine was broken was broken from the start, broken from the start They won't pay a cent to hear you laughing They might pay a little to hear you cry If you do it long enough, they might even pay attention But they still won't pay respect until you die If you hide yourself, deep inside Deep inside In time you've got nothing left to hide It's all dead inside Tonight, honey, I'm going to break your heart Mine was broken was broken from the start, broken from the start
