Blind Leading the Blind
on the corner of the street
broken bottles at her feet
her hands are trembling as she takes again
her daily dose of oblivion
the girl with pitch black painted lips
blood dripping down her fingertips
already wishing she was dead
though her whole life is still ahead
another broken home
another broken soul
no way to kill the pain inside
though she numbs the wounds they're open wide
on the corner of the street
she's fallen down. her small hands bleed
she's crying, trying to stand up
mama's still inside the liquor shop
the girl is only nine years old
there's people watching it all unfold
but when mom comes out and leaves her there
no-one doesn't even care
another broken home
another broken soul
no way to kill the pain inside
though she numbs the wounds they're open wide
If I just could I'd go to her and take her hand in mine
show her how through love and grace it can all be left behind
and If I could I'd go to her and tell her why You died
But the sin inside
Keeps me petrified
Your words echoing in my mind
It is the blind leading the blind
another broken home
another broken soul
I know who could kill the pain inside
and heal the wounds that are open wide
another broken home
another broken soul
still I refuse to break her free
what's wrong with me
as I ignore her I feel odd
did I just walk past the Son of God?
broken bottles at her feet
her hands are trembling as she takes again
her daily dose of oblivion
the girl with pitch black painted lips
blood dripping down her fingertips
already wishing she was dead
though her whole life is still ahead
another broken home
another broken soul
no way to kill the pain inside
though she numbs the wounds they're open wide
on the corner of the street
she's fallen down. her small hands bleed
she's crying, trying to stand up
mama's still inside the liquor shop
the girl is only nine years old
there's people watching it all unfold
but when mom comes out and leaves her there
no-one doesn't even care
another broken home
another broken soul
no way to kill the pain inside
though she numbs the wounds they're open wide
If I just could I'd go to her and take her hand in mine
show her how through love and grace it can all be left behind
and If I could I'd go to her and tell her why You died
But the sin inside
Keeps me petrified
Your words echoing in my mind
It is the blind leading the blind
another broken home
another broken soul
I know who could kill the pain inside
and heal the wounds that are open wide
another broken home
another broken soul
still I refuse to break her free
what's wrong with me
as I ignore her I feel odd
did I just walk past the Son of God?
