Broken Heart

What happens when the words gets lost inside When the silent tears keep falling and thoughts run dry If I sit and hold a siddur and it's the best that I can do If don't have the words can I still try to talk to You I've been trying since the day I learned to read But some days I just can't ask for what I need And what if I'm afraid that You're not proud of what You see If I don't have the words, can I still feel You talk to me Maybe all You want from me is a broken heart Maybe nothing's as complete as a broken heart You're listening when I can't find the words My pleas are not unseen and my voice not unheard In the little prayer that flows from my broken heart Can You somehow draw me close when I feel so far Surely You who shapes my story part by part Can hear a song that's whole from a broken heart I'm learning that there's no one time or place And that nobody's too small to feel Your embrace And I am learning that You wait to hear my voice To You it's sweet I close my eyes and connect as I repeat Maybe all You want from me is a broken heart Maybe nothing's as complete as a broken heart You're listening when I can't find the words My pleas are not unseen and my voice not unheard In the little prayer that flows from my broken heart You will somehow draw me close when I feel so far Surely You who shapes my story part by part You can hear a song that's whole from a broken heart
