Broken Spirit

(album: The Unrecoupable One Man Bandit - 1998)

I stand accused of loving you despite the crime
I must forgive to protect my broken heart
I see the vultures like dark angels as they swoop
But only God will ever really know the truth
If the Lord can forgive why can't you
Though I know it ain't such an easy thing to do
Will you keep me in your prayers
Cause I know the good Lord cares
If the Lord can forgive why can't you
You call it evil
I disagree
So hard to face the darker parts of you and me
You point the finger
And you cast the stone
But you have secrets and confessions of your own
If the Lord can forgive why can't you
Though I know it ain't such an easy thing to do
Will you keep me in your prayers
Cause I know the good Lord cares
If the Lord can forgive why can't you
Broken spirit
I know your name
So lift your head high
I can feel your shame
Your mind is twisted
This crazy fear
But your in my heart and
I'm gonna keep you there
Gonna keep you there
