Land of Broken Hearts
Echoes of Sorrow: Navigating the Heartache in the Land of Broken Dreams
Lyrics
On a porch in the distance
Setting the scene on a porch in the distance
There sits a little boy
Observing a little boy on the porch
Who wonders where Daddy's gone
The boy wonders about the absence of his father
He doesn't understand why
The boy is confused about why things are the way they are
It has to be this way
Expressing the sadness of the situation
Oh, what did he do wrong
The boy questions what he did wrong
I know he's not a lone
Acknowledging that the boy is not alone in his sorrow
Many more will cry his tears of woe
Anticipating that many others will share the same pain
In the land of broken hearts

Many lives are torn apart
Highlighting the widespread impact with lives torn apart
Pain and strife fill the night
Describing the prevalent pain and strife during the night
In the land of broken hearts
Reiterating the challenges in the "Land of Broken Hearts"
In a house across town
Shifting focus to another house across town
A woman kneels by her bed
A woman prays by her bed, expressing her hopes
And hopes that someone hears
She wishes someone hears her concerns
He little boy's run away
Revealing that the little boy has run away
To God only knows where
Uncertainty about the boy's whereabouts
No one knows the pain she feels
Describing the woman's hidden pain
And the tears fall down like rain
Her tears fall down like rain, symbolizing deep sorrow
I know she's not alone
Emphasizing that she's not alone in her suffering
Many more will feel her pain
Expecting others to share and understand her pain
In the land of broken hearts

On hill far away
Introducing a hill far away with an old rugged cross
Stood an old rugged cross

Where the lamb of God was slain
Highlighting the significance of the lamb of God being slain
And the blood that fell
Referring to the blood shed on the cross
From His body that day
Emphasizing the sacrifice for our pain
Was enough for all our pain
Stating the sufficiency of the blood for all pain

Connecting the cries of woe to the birth of hope

Transforming tears of pain into collective joy

Introducing a blessed hope in the midst of brokenness
