Ooo!
In a heart of pride
There's a world of shame
Too great to hide
Not ready to take
To take the blame
I know that life gets hard
When the heart grows cold
Refuse to bend
Love is quick to fold
Love is quick to fold

Like the willows weep, yeah
In the winds of change
Or a winter's sleep, yes
In the blinding snow
And the freezing rain
And like the embers glow
When the fire is low
God is reaching me
Teaching me
To feel the strength in humility

(Let me be broken, my cry, my plea
Let me be broken)
Chastened, chosen
(Let me be broken, quite honestly
Let me be broken
Hey)

When the eyes are dry
To a widow's pain
Or an orphan's cry
Then religion is lost
It's all in vain
But of the deadly sins
Sure to top the list
Self-seeking wins
With a defiant twist
A defiant twist

Like the willows weep
In the winds of change
Or a winter's sleep, yeah
In the blinding snow
And the freezing rain
And like the embers glow
When the fire is low
God is reaching me
Teaching me
To know the strength in humility

(Let me be broken my cry, my plea
Let me be broken
Let me be broken, quite honestly
Let me be broken
Hey)

I'm breakin' the pride in my heart
On my knees

Let me be broken!
(In a heart of pride there's a world of shame)
My cry, my plea!
(Not ready to take, to take the blame
Let me be broken)
Let me be broken!
(The willows weep in the winds of change)
Quite honestly!
(In the blinding snow and the freezing rain
Let me be broken
When the eyes are dry to the widow's pain)
When the eyes are dry!
(Then religion is lost and it's all in vain)
Let me be broken!
(Let me be broken, broken)
Let me be broken!
(Of the deadly sins sure to top the list)
My cry my plea!
(Self-seeking wins with a defiant twist
Let me be broken, broken, yeah)
In a heart of pride!
(In a heart of pride there's a world of shame)
There's a world of shame!
(Not ready to take, to take the blame)
Let me be broken!
(Broken, whoo hoo!)
Too great to hide!
(The willows weep in the winds of change)
Not ready to take the blame!
(In the blinding snow and the freezing rain
Let me be broken)
Let me be...
Broken!
When the eyes are dry!
(When the eyes are dry to the widow's pain
Then religion is lost and it's all in vain)
To the widow's pain!
(Let me be broken)
Let me be broken!
(Of the deadly sins sure to top the list)
Oh, let me be broken!
(Self-seeking wins with a defiant twist)
