Broken yet Beautiful


Growing up there was a light

So bright and beautiful

As the years passed by

The light began to dim inside

But what is broken can be fixed

As long as you see the joy inside of it

A nation built on greatness then

Will one day be great again

When we learn to love what is wrong with us

We can start to see the light built by us
