Tale of a Broken Child Songtext
von 21 Octayne

There's a baby born into a broken home
The sadest little thing you've ever known
With her momma drunk and her daddy gone
She left her home at the break of dawn...

Now there's a girl with a smile on her face
You can barely see the tears that she hides
She's got more baggage than any man could bear
But there is still a spark of hope in her eyes...

Running from the pain and all the misery,
Searching for a life in harmony,
She sees the world today and how it's supposed to be,
Never giving up on her dreams.

See the light that shines in her lonely eyes tonight
See the broken heart that she hides so deep inside
Misery needs company to heal the soul and set it free...

It's the tale of a broken child - in her own world she hides,
She never cries - no!
Never letting her spirits die, see it in her eyes,
See the light she shines...


(Intermediate)

Searching for a way to leave her past behind,
To leave this place and all its tragedy...
A suiitcase full of hope that one day she will find,
A way to forge a new destiny.

See the light that shines in her lonely eyes tonight
See the broken heart that she hides so deep inside
Misery needs company to heal the soul and set it free...

It's the tale of a broken child - in her own world she hides,
She never cries - no!
Never letting her spirits die, see it in her eyes,
See the sacrifice!

Now there's a girl with a smile on her face,
You can see there's no more tears in her eyes,
Still got the baggage but there's a man who cares
Who lights the spark of love in her eyes!

That's the tale of a broken child, another war she fights,
Made it out alive, never letting her spirits die, see it in her eyes,
See the light she shines!


Oh now that this broken soul finally stopped to roam
Now that she found a home
No more need to run, she can finally feel the sun,
Warming up her heart, make a brand new start...
