Broken Heart
Whispers of a Silent Heart: A Journey of Connection
Lyrics
What happens when the words gets lost inside
Expressing the impact of being unable to articulate feelings verbally.
When the silent tears keep falling and thoughts run dry
Describing a state of emotional turmoil with tears and a lack of coherent thoughts.
If I sit and hold a siddur and it's the best that I can do
Acknowledging the effort of using a prayer book (siddur) as a form of communication.
If don't have the words can I still try to talk to You
Pondering the ability to connect with a higher power even when lacking specific words.
I've been trying since the day I learned to read
Reflecting on a long-standing attempt to communicate through prayer.
But some days I just can't ask for what I need
Admitting difficulty in asking for help or expressing needs on certain days.
And what if I'm afraid that You're not proud of what You see
Expressing fear of divine disapproval or disappointment.
If I don't have the words, can I still feel You talk to me
Questioning if a connection can still exist without specific words.
Maybe all You want from me is a broken heart
Suggesting the possibility that vulnerability and a "broken heart" are what the higher power desires.
Maybe nothing's as complete as a broken heart
Positing that there is a unique completeness in having a broken heart.
You're listening when I can't find the words
Affirming the belief that prayers are heard even when unable to articulate them.
My pleas are not unseen and my voice not unheard
Emphasizing that pleas are acknowledged and the voice is not ignored.
In the little prayer that flows from my broken heart
Highlighting the significance of prayers originating from a broken heart.
Can You somehow draw me close when I feel so far
Seeking closeness despite feeling emotionally distant.
Surely You who shapes my story part by part
Believing that the higher power, who shapes one's life, understands the broken narrative.
Can hear a song that's whole from a broken heart
Asserting that even a fragmented heart can produce a beautiful and complete song.
I'm learning that there's no one time or place
Recognizing the absence of restrictions on when or where divine connection can occur.
And that nobody's too small to feel Your embrace
Acknowledging that everyone, regardless of size or importance, can experience divine embrace.
And I am learning that You wait to hear my voice
Learning that the higher power eagerly awaits the individual's communication.
To You it's sweet
Expressing the sweetness of the communication from the individual to the higher power.
I close my eyes and connect as I repeat
Using a repetitive and meditative process to establish a connection.
Maybe all You want from me is a broken heart
Reiterating the idea that a broken heart may be what the higher power desires.
Maybe nothing's as complete as a broken heart
Reaffirming the uniqueness and completeness found in a broken heart.
You're listening when I can't find the words
Emphasizing the belief that prayers are heard even when unable to articulate them.
My pleas are not unseen and my voice not unheard
Affirming that pleas are acknowledged and the voice is not ignored.
In the little prayer that flows from my broken heart
Highlighting the significance of prayers originating from a broken heart.
You will somehow draw me close when I feel so far
Seeking closeness despite feeling emotionally distant.
Surely You who shapes my story part by part
Believing that the higher power, who shapes one's life, understands the broken narrative.
You can hear a song that's whole from a broken heart
Asserting that even a fragmented heart can produce a beautiful and complete song.
