Broken but not Beaten
The mirror crashes down and pieces of me are on the floor
Who am I now? I cry to the air, to the Lord, to anyone
I said good-bye so long ago with words of hurt and anger
Never thinking this will be the last time to say goodbye
I was a daughter to two parents, now of one
How will I forgive him now?
How will I forgive myself?
Ashes on the floor, Ashes on the table
Ashes, Ashes, we all fall down
Down goes my heart, down goes my mind, down, down on my knees
But on my knees I feel a peace
A piece of mirror is lying before me, a reflection of who I am
Once a daughter but now a mother
I vow the next time I say goodbye it will be with loving words so if it is the last time, it will be well
It will be well with my soul, because I am broken for now but not beaten
