[Verse 1]
I remember quiet mornings
Kids just racing for the bus
Grandma talking at the table
Nothing heavy over us
Now the sirens cut the daylight
Neighbors hiding in their rooms
I keep scrolling past the headlines
Every picture feels like you
[Chorus]
My heart is broken for this land
Tear-stained flag in my two hands
How did safety turn to fear so fast?
I remember when we used to laugh
My heart is broken, can’t pretend
Watching families lose their friends
I still pray we’ll find our way back home
But right now
My heart is broken
[Verse 2]
Every name becomes a story
Every story has a face
All the borders, all the orders
Can’t erase a life, a place
Leaders shouting on the TV
Like a game they’re trying to win
But I’m crying on the couch here
’Cause I know what love has been
[Chorus]
My heart is broken for this land
Tear-stained flag in my two hands
How did safety turn to fear so fast?
I remember when we used to laugh
My heart is broken, can’t pretend
Watching families lose their friends
I still pray we’ll find our way back home
But right now
My heart is broken (so broken)
[Bridge]
Can we turn the anger down?
Hear the voices shaking now?
Every border, every wall
Can we see a child through them all?
I don’t want a world like this
Built on blame and bitterness
I just want that simple peace again
Back then
[Chorus]
My heart is broken for this land
Tear-stained flag in my two hands
How did safety turn to fear so fast?
I remember when we used to laugh
My heart is broken, can’t pretend
Watching families lose their friends
I still pray we’ll find our way back home
But right now
My heart is broken (my heart)
My heart is broken
