An Anthem for the Broken

An anthem for the ones who hurt
Who broke their fists on dreams and dirt
Who climbed the hills and found the sea
Who saw the tops of home and tree
Who never left their hearts in scars
Who caught the fire in the stars
Who held their kids when they were scared
Who found a way from here to there
An anthem for the real reward
The sometimes broke and bent before
Where hope is lost and winter birds
Float from the wires when shots are heard
An anthem for my mothers arms
The bravest walk, the big alarm
The boxers, cops and soldiers too
The ones who need no gratitude
We wont quit...
An anthem for the brotherhood
The light in the dark and the lean for good
The knowing not which way to go
But here but for the grace of the unknown I know
A dollars not a peace nor end
Id do it all and all again
An anthem for the broken hearts
That made it worlds from where theyd start
We wont quit...
