Someone In Repair

Someone's buying up the high-rise

Hasn't seen their child in years

Someone's shining in the spotlight

But in the wings they shake with fear

Someone's wrestling with a bottle

And we all know the fight ain't fair

So be gentle to a stranger

For they are someone in repair

Someone wears a mask of iron

Layin' flowers on a stone

Someone fought through heavy fire

Just to bring those battles home

Someone's looking for their father

Even if they're not aware

So be gentle to a stranger

For they are someone in repair

Cracks in the windows, cracks in the walls

We need a little mercy to find us all

I see you give until you're empty

Until the well is desert dry

But maybe you don't have to fix the world

To get the love you were denied

I hope someday you will see yourself

And recognize that you are rare

Please, be gentle to a stranger

For you are someone in repair

Oh, be gentle to a stranger

We're all someone in repair
